  5. 13. Disentangling small genetic differences in large Atlantic herring populations: comparing genetic markers and statistical power

    Author : Lena C. Larsson; Linda Laikre; Nils Ryman; Lorenz Hauser; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; conservation genetics; marine fish; spatial and temporal genetic variation; molecular marker comparison; allozyme; microsatellite; selection; fisheries management; Biology; Biologi; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : Genes are the foundation of evolution and biodiversity. The genetic structure of natural populations needs to be understood to maintain exploited resources rationally. This thesis focuses on genetic variability and methods to determine spatial and temporal genetic heterogeneities. READ MORE
