Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive evolutionary conservation: towards a unified concept for defining conservation units.
Dylan J. Fraser,Louis Bernatchez +1 more
TL;DR: This work provides a context-based framework for delineating ESUs which circumvents much of this situation and accepts that differing criteria will work more dynamically than others and can be used alone or in combination depending on the situation.
Journal ArticleDOI
How well can captive breeding programs conserve biodiversity? A review of salmonids
TL;DR: The need for captive monitoring to involve, a priori, greater application of hypothesis testing through the use of well‐designed experiments and improved documentation of procedures adopted by specific programs for reducing the loss of genetic diversity and fitness is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extent and scale of local adaptation in salmonid fishes: review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: The frequency with which foreign salmonid populations outperform local populations suggests that drift, gene flow and plasticity often limit or mediate LA, and future research will benefit from an integration of classical and molecular approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of fisheries- and farming-induced evolution.
TL;DR: This examination of fisheries‐ and farming‐induced evolution includes factors that may influence the magnitude, rate and reversibility of genetic responses, the potential for shifts in reaction norms and reduced plasticity, loss of genetic variability, outbreeding depression and their demographic consequences to wild fishes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective/census population size ratio estimation: a compendium and appraisal.
Friso P. Palstra,Dylan J. Fraser +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the estimation of Ne/N ratios in natural populations could be significantly improved, discuss several options for doing so, and briefly outline some future research directions.
