Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic plasticity of habitat use by three temperate eel species, Anguilla anguilla, A. japonica and A. rostrata
Françoise Daverat,Karin E. Limburg,Isabel Thibault,Jen-Chieh Shiao,Julian J. Dodson,François Caron,Wann-Nian Tzeng,Yoshiyuki Iizuka,Håkan Wickström +8 more
TL;DR: Diversity of habitat use appears to be a common strategy of temperate eel species, and, as a life his- tory tactic, is under environmental control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape genetics and hierarchical genetic structure in Atlantic salmon: the interaction of gene flow and local adaptation
TL;DR: Results suggested that the interaction between gene flow and thermal regime adaptation mainly explained the hierarchical genetic structure observed among Atlantic salmon populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinal variation in MHC diversity with temperature: evidence for the role of host-pathogen interaction on local adaptation in Atlantic salmon.
TL;DR: It is proposed that genetic diversity at MHC class II represents local adaptation to cope with pathogen diversity in rivers associated with different thermal regimes, and bacterial diversity is a plausible selection mechanism explaining the observed association between temperature and MHC variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facultative catadromy in American eels: testing the conditional strategy hypothesis
Isabel Thibault,Julian J. Dodson,François Caron,Wann-Nian Tzeng,Yoshiyuki Iizuka,Jen-Chieh Shiao +5 more
TL;DR: Otolith strontium:calcium ratios in 162 American eels demonstrated the co-existence of 6 migratory patterns, including freshwater and brackish water residence, and the predominance of an amphidro- mous migratory behavior, and it is suggested that freshwater overwintering periods are not recorded in otoliths owing to the cold winter climate that occurs at northern latitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The optimized interpolation of fish positions and speeds in an array of fixed acoustic receivers
Richard D. Hedger,François Martin,Julian J. Dodson,Daniel Hatin,François Caron,Fred Whoriskey +5 more
TL;DR: Hedger et al. as mentioned in this paper used a weighted-mean estimator to estimate the positions and speeds of three paths made through a dense array of fixed acoustic receivers within a coastal embayment (Gaspe Bay, Quebec, Canada).
