Migration pathways, speed and mortality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts in a Scottish river and the near‐shore coastal marine environment

AJ Lothian, M Newton, J Barry… - … of Freshwater Fish, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Long‐distance migration of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is known to result in high levels of
mortality. For a species experiencing global population decline, it is thus vital to better …

The role of individual behavioral traits on fishway passage attempt behavior

AJ Lothian, MC Lucas - Ecology and Evolution, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Variations in behavioral traits are widely recognized to drive animal behaviors exhibited
within a population. However, information on how behavior traits influence behavior in …

Are we designing fishways for diversity? Potential selection on alternative phenotypes resulting from differential passage in brown trout

AJ Lothian, M Schwinn, AH Anton, CE Adams… - Journal of …, 2020 - Elsevier
Fishways are commonly employed to improve river connectivity for fishes, but the extent to
which they cater for natural phenotypic diversity has been insufficiently addressed. We …

[HTML][HTML] Is shape in the eye of the beholder? Assessing landmarking error in geometric morphometric analyses on live fish

…, CE Adams, JA Bright, HM Honkanen, AJ Lothian… - PeerJ, 2023 - peerj.com
Geometric morphometrics is widely used to quantify morphological variation between
biological specimens, but the fundamental influence of operator bias on data reproducibility is …

River connectivity restoration for upstream‐migrating European river lamprey: The efficacy of two horizontally‐mounted studded tile designs

AJ Lothian, JS Tummers, AJ Albright… - River Research and …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Many rivers are heavily fragmented, resulting from anthropogenic cross‐channel structures.
Cost‐effective solutions are needed to restore habitat connectivity for migratory fishes, …

Passage performance and behaviour of wild and stocked cyprinid fish at a sloping weir with a Low Cost Baffle fishway

AJ Lothian, CJ Gardner, T Hull, D Griffiths… - Ecological …, 2019 - Elsevier
Weir construction has fragmented many rivers, resulting in the exclusion of some fish
populations from suitable habitat. A cheap retrofit fishway for small, sloping weirs is the Low Cost …

…, JR Dodd, AD Nunn, P Schirrmacher, AJ Lothian… - Anthropocene, 2023 - Elsevier
Worldwide, rivers are extensively fragmented by anthropogenic structures, reducing
longitudinal connectivity, inhibiting migration and leading to severe declines in many fish …

Smolting in post‐sexually mature male Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) parr in the wild

AJ Lothian, J Rodger, L Wilkie… - … of Freshwater Fish, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Conflicts can arise in developmental pathways that prevent an individual entering different
developmental life stages that result in the expression of different phenotypes within a specific …

Individual genotype but not phenotype predicts river migration success in Atlantic salmon

…, JR Rodger, HM Honkanen, M Newton, AJ Lothian… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Migratory species typically undertake demanding long-distance journeys, across different
habitat types during which they are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors. …
