| contemporary factors influencing genetic diversity in the alaska humpback whitefish coregonus clupeaformis complex. | thirteen microsatellite loci were used to address three hypotheses regarding genetic diversity in the humpback whitefish coregonus clupeaformis complex in alaska. the test results provided further insight into the factors influencing c. clupeaformis complex population structure and level of genetic variation. first, the microsatellite data did not provide evidence of two spatially distinct beringian and eurasian refugial groups as revealed in previous phylogeographic analyses of mitochondrial dn ... | 2018 | 29479698 |
| coexistence and origin of trophic ecotypes of pygmy whitefish, prosopium coulterii, in a south-western alaskan lake. | ecologically, morphologically and genetically distinct populations within single taxa often coexist in postglacial lakes and have provided important model systems with which to investigate ecological and evolutionary processes such as niche partitioning and ecological speciation. within the salmonidae, these species complexes have been well studied, particularly within the coregonus clupeaformis-c. laveratus (lake and european whitefish, respectively) group, but the phenomenon has been less well ... | 2012 | 23110688 |
