Atlantic salmon populations reveal adaptive divergence of immune related genes - a duplicated genome under selection
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-11)Background: Populations of Atlantic salmon display highly significant genetic differences with unresolved molecular basis. These differences may result from separate postglacial colonization patterns, diversifying natural ... -
Climate warming causes life-history evolution in a model for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Climate change influences the marine environment, with ocean warming being the foremost driving factor governing changes in the physiology and ecology of fish. At the individual level, increasing temperature influences ... -
Disentangling genetic and epigenetic determinants of ultrafast adaptation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)A major rationale for the advocacy of epigenetically mediated adaptive responses is that they facilitate faster adaptation to environmental challenges. This motivated us to develop a theoretical–experimental framework for ... -
Natural mortality: Its ecology, how it shapes fish life histories, and why it may be increased by fishing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01)A stronger focus on natural mortality may be required to better understand contemporary changes in fish life histories and behaviour and their responses to anthropogenic drivers. Firstly, natural mortality is the selection ... -
Polish Translation and Validation of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and the Tinnitus Functional Index
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-11-29)Objective: The need for validated measures enabling clinicians to classify tinnitus patients according to the severity of tinnitus and screen the progress of therapies in our country led us to translate into Polish and to ... -
Processes Prior and during the Early 18th Century Irish Famines—Weather Extremes and Migration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-10)This paper advances the current debates on famine and famine history, with a focus on the first half of the 18th century in Ireland. Ireland was often hit by severe famines and two of them, specifically the famines of ...
