Low but significant genetic differentiation underlies biologically meaningful phenotypic divergence in a large Atlantic salmon population

Abstract: Despite decades of research assessing the genetic structure of natural populations, the biological meaning of low yet significant genetic divergence often remains unclear due to a lack of associated phenotypic and ecological information. At the same time, structured populations with low genetic divergence and overlapping boundaries can potentially provide excellent models to study adaptation and reproductive isolation in cases where high-resolution genetic markers and relevant phenotypic and life history infor… Show more

“…The differences with our study could be due to the different resolution of the molecular markers used or to real differences in connectivity mediated by a longer larval duration among others. Therefore, genome-wide SNP genotyping could provide much greater power than traditional markers to detect genetic differentiation and thus, to define barriers to the dispersion of studied organisms5152.…”

“…() ( N = 2874) and therefore had been already filtered for high information content (minor allele frequency, f MA > 0·05). Here, information content was further increased by preferentially selecting SNPs that exhibited heterozygosity ( H O ) > 0·2 in the in the dataset (Aykanat et al ., ), though shift in H O distribution in the selected SNPs was not significantly different from zero (Mann–Whitney U = 118760, N 1,2 = 152,2874, P > 0·05). The number of SNPs on a chromosome was roughly proportional to the length of the chromosome (Fig.…”
