A baseline for the genetic stock identification of Atlantic herring, Clupea harengus, in ICES Divisions 6.a, 7.b-c

The paper develops a genetic assignment method using SNPs to identify Atlantic herring populations in ICES Divisions 6.a, 7.b-c with high accuracy.

Global, regional, and cryptic population structure in a high gene-flow transatlantic fish

This study reveals extensive population genetic structuring in lumpfish despite high dispersal potential, identifying major splits and local substructures across the North Atlantic.

The genetic architecture underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is not consistent with the infinitesimal model

The study identifies hundreds of loci associated with ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring, finding that allele frequency shifts at these loci contradict the infinitesimal model for complex traits.

Evolution at two time-frames: ancient and common origin of two structural variants involved in local adaptation of the European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa)

This study investigates two structural variants in European plaice, showing they have an ancient origin and are associated with recent environmental gradients.

Fine scale population structure linked to neutral divergence in the common sole (Solea solea), a marine fish with high dispersal capacity

The paper examines population structure in common sole using ddRAD SNPs, finding that neutral processes, not selection, drive fine-scale divergence in the North Sea-Baltic Sea transition zone.

Beyond parallel evolution: when several species colonize the same environmental gradient

The paper examines genomic divergence in four flatfish species colonizing the North Sea-Baltic Sea gradient, finding heterogeneous divergence patterns and no parallel genomic architecture.
