Technical assistance in sturgeon population dynamics

Molecular genetics has recently achieved an important place in contemporary conservation biology as it has proven to be a robust tool for identifying reproductive isolation among populations, permitting the delineation of management units (MUs) and allowing assessment of conservation priorities from an evolutionary perspective (i.e., More...

Genetics of Alaskan Fishes

Genetics of Alaska Fishes Projects studies include comparing molecular genetics for rainbow trout throughout their range in Alaska and use microsatellite analyses to look at hatchery and wild populations of steelhead in the Snake River (Phylogeographic analysis of rainbow trout in Alaska). Research also looks at genetic population structure of More...
