The paper develops a GT-seq panel to identify species in the Coregonus artedi complex and demonstrates its cross-amplification in related taxa.

The paper examines introgression and population structure in Pacific rockfishes, finding Copper shows higher differentiation while Quillback shows panmixia and introgression from 13-16 other species.

The paper compares detection probabilities of nearshore fish using eDNA and seine nets, finding trait-specific selectivity differences.

The paper identifies three large-effect loci in a duplicated genomic region that modulate migration timing across four salmon species, showing WGD-facilitated adaptive evolution.

The paper compares genomes across multiple fish species to study the evolutionary changes in the amhr2bY gene, a key sex-determining gene, revealing gains and losses in different Percidae species.

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding to assess nearshore fish communities in Southeast Alaska, finding that habitat type significantly influences species richness and composition, while tide effects are more subtle and habitat-dependent.

The paper compares eDNA metabarcoding with traditional fishing methods in a freshwater lake, finding eDNA more efficient at detecting species diversity and revealing spatial patterns.

The paper uses genomic data to analyze mixed-stock exploitation in Lake Erie walleye fisheries, showing western basin stocks dominate harvests during peak season.

The paper develops a GT-seq panel for walleye and outlines a workflow for creating efficient amplicon panels in non-model organisms.

The paper constructs a novel linkage map for cisco and performs comparative genomic analyses to study residual tetrasomy and chromosomal evolution in salmonids.

This study uses RAD sequencing to distinguish sympatric coregonine fish forms in Lake Superior, revealing high genetic differentiation and limited hybrid success.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of yellow perch and identifies a Y-specific duplication of the amhr2 gene as a candidate sex determination gene.
