DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04822-6
Abstract: Ecological opportunity occurs when a resource becomes available through a decrease of interspecific competition and another species colonizes the vacant niche through phenotypic plasticity and intraspecific competition. Brook charr exhibit a resource polymorphism in some… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-019-03989-1
Abstract: Conserving coldwater stream ecosystems in a warming world requires understanding how water temperature changes will affect the sustainability of coldwater fish populations such as brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis). To date, many models for predicting stream… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.0670
Abstract: Epigenetic inheritance can result in plastic responses to changing environments being faithfully transmitted to offspring. However, it remains unclear how epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation can contribute to multigenerational acclimation and adaptation to environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13553
Abstract: Higher temperatures are now observed in several ecosystems and act as new selective agents that shape traits and fitness of individuals. Transgenerational effects may be important in modulating adaptation of future generations and buffering negative… read more here.

Adaptive and maladaptive genetic diversity in small populations: Insights from the Brook Charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) case study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.15566
Abstract: Investigating the relative importance of neutral versus selective processes governing the accumulation of genetic variants is a key goal in both evolutionary and conservation biology. This is particularly true in the context of small populations,… read more here.
