Journal Article
Moccetti, P., Bolland, J. D., Adams, C. E., Rodger, J. R., Honkanen, H. M., Newton, M., Lothian, A. J., Nunn, A. D., & Joyce, D. A. (2024). Genotype But Not Body Shape Predicts River Migration Success in Atlantic Salmon. Ecology and Evolution, 14(12), Article e70682. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.70682

Migratory species typically undertake demanding long-distance journeys, across different habitat types during which they are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors. Mortality during migration is typically high and may be human induce... Read More about Genotype But Not Body Shape Predicts River Migration Success in Atlantic Salmon.

Genetic consequences of improved river connectivity in brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) (2024)
Journal Article

Fragmentation of watercourses poses a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly for migratory fish species. Mitigation measures such as fishways, have been increasingly implemented to restore river connectivity and support fish migration. The...

Emigration of post-spawned twaite shad Alosa fallax, an anadromous and iteroparous fish, in a highly fragmented river (2024)
Journal Article

Emigration of post-spawned twaite shad Alosa fallax, an anadromous and iteroparous fish, in a highly fragmented river. Journal of fish biology, https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15713

Anthropogenic barriers are widely known to negatively impact the spawning migrations of anadromous fishes, by delaying or preventing passage upstream. Although the impacts of barriers on emigrating post-spawned adults are less well studied, they coul...
