Additional file 1 of Genetic relationships between sympatric and allopatric Coregonus ciscoes in North and Central Europe

Additional file 1: Table S1. Proportion of missing genotypes among the nine microsatellites (columns) in the 18 Coregonus populations (rows). Individuals with more than a single missing locus were omitted from subsequent statistical analyses. AS = autumn-spawner, SS = spring-Spawner. Table S2. Matrix of pairwise θ between sympatric populations of Lake Stechlin (Coregonus albula and C. fontanae), sampled in different years (below diagonal), and their lower 95% confidence intervals (above diagonal). Weak structure between (sub)populations is indicated by the lower CI including zero. Table S3. Matrix of pairwise θ between sympatric populations of Lake Breiter Luzin (Coregonus albula and C. luc…

Migratory connectivity of two Baltic Sea salmon populations: retrospective analysis using stable isotopes of scales

Abstract Torniainen, J., Vuorinen, P. J., Jones, R. I., Keinänen, M., Palm, S., Vuori, K. A. M., and Kiljunen, M. 2014. Migratory connectivity of two Baltic Sea salmon populations: retrospective analysis using stable isotopes of scales. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 71: 336–344. Migratory connectivity refers to the extent to which individuals of a migratory population behave in unison, and has significant consequences for the ecology, evolution and conservation of migratory animals. We made a retrospective assessment of the migratory connectivity of River Simojoki and River Kymijoki populations of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. by using stable isotope analysis of archived scales to iden…

Genetic relationships between sympatric and allopatric Coregonus ciscoes in North and Central Europe

Abstract Background Sympatric speciation along ecological gradients has been studied repeatedly, in particular in freshwater fishes. Rapid post-glacial ecological divergence has resulted in numerous endemic species or ecologically distinct populations in lakes of the temperate zones. Here, we focus on the Baltic cisco (Coregonus albula) complex, to study the genetic similarity among two pairs of sympatric autumn- and spring-spawning populations from post-glacial German Lakes Stechlin and Breiter Luzin. For comparison, we included a similar pair of sympatric populations from the Swedish Lake Fegen. We wanted to explore potential genetic similarities between the three sympatric cisco populati…
