    • Ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is associated with large shifts in allele frequencies at hundreds of loci 

      Han, Fan; Jamsandekar, Minal; Pettersson, Mats; Su, Leyi; Fuentes-Pardo, Angela P.; Davis, Brian W.; Bekkevold, Dorte; Berg, Florian; Casini, Michele; Dahle, Geir; Farrell, Edward D.; Folkvord, Arild; Andersson, Leif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Atlantic herring is widespread in North Atlantic and adjacent waters and is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth. This species is well suited to explore genetic adaptation due to minute genetic differentiation at ...
    • Epistatic regulation of growth in Atlantic salmon revealed: a QTL study performed on the domesticated-wild interface

    • Genetic response to human-induced habitat changes in the marine environment: A century of evolution of European sprat in Landvikvannet, Norway 

      Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Richter-Boix, Alex; Bekkevold, Dorte; Kvamme, Cecilie; Berg, Florian; Jansson, Eeva; Dahle, Geir; Besnier, Francois; Nash, Richard David Marriott; Glover, Kevin Alan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Habitat changes represent one of the five most pervasive threats to biodiversity. However, anthropogenic activities also have the capacity to create novel niche spaces to which species respond differently. In 1880, one ...
