Genetic divergence and phylogeographic relationships among European perch (Perca fluviatilis) populations reflect glacial refugia and postglacial colonization

CL Nesbø, T Fossheim, LA Vøllestad… - Molecular …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
We used the widely distributed freshwater fish, perch (Perca fluviatilis), to investigate the
postglacial colonization routes of freshwater fishes in Europe. Genetic variability within and …

Trait changes in a harvested population are driven by a dynamic tug-of-war between natural and harvest selection

…, JB James, TO Haugen, LA Vøllestad… - Proceedings of the …, 2007 - National Acad Sciences
Selective harvest of large individuals should alter natural adaptive landscapes and drive
evolution toward reduced somatic growth and increased reproductive investment. However, few …

Basin‐scale phenology and effects of climate variability on global timing of initial seaward migration of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

…, H Saegrov, NC Stenseth, LA Vøllestad - Global change …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Migrations between different habitats are key events in the lives of many organisms. Such
movements involve annually recurring travel over long distances usually triggered by …

Latitudinal variation in life‐history traits in Eurasian perch

E Heibo, C Magnhagen, LA Vøllestad - Ecology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Few studies have examined multiple life‐history traits across a latitudinal gradient to test
whether variation in growth rate and mortality schedules induces trends predicted by life‐history …

A century of life-history evolution in grayling

TO Haugen, LA Vøllestad - Genetica, 2001 - Springer
Synchronic and allochronic data sets consisting of phenotypic values of various life-history
traits from five grayling Thymallus thymallus populations with common ancestors were …

The significance of water ionic strength on aluminium toxicity in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.)

NEW Alstad, BM Kjelsberg, LA Vøllestad… - Environmental …, 2005 - Elsevier
The toxicity of aluminium to fish is related to interactions between aluminium and the gill
surface. We investigated the possible effect of water ionic strength on this interaction. The …

Population differences in early life‐history traits in grayling

TO Haugen, LA Vøllestad - Journal of evolutionary biology, 2000 - academic.oup.com
In this paper we test population differences in early life‐history traits in three grayling
Thymallus thymallus populations. The grayling shared ancestors some 80–90 years ago. We …
