Diversity
| Understanding how patterns of genetic diversity influence population and species viability is essential for developing recovery plans and evaluating the impacts of management actions and environmental change. Understanding how local adaptation shapes genetic diversity contributes significantly to correctly managing Pacific salmon stocks, as well as to broader problems in population genetics. NWFSC experiments designed to provide insights into the patterns and processes of salmon adaptation to the local environment and quantify the importance of local adaptation to species survival will address these important questions. |
