EvolConGen at ESEB 2025

This summer, five members of the EvolConGen group presented their research at the ESEB Congress in Barcelona.

Their talks highlighted new insights into the genetic and environmental processes shaping life-history variation in salmonids.

Craig Primmer: Sex-specific overdominance for reproductive fitness at a large-effect maturation locus in wild Atlantic salmon.

María Cádiz Escobar: Contrasting contemporary changes in large-effect life history loci in Salmo salar across Europe.

Amaïa Lamarins: How do Atlantic salmon respond to selective fishing under various genetic architectures of a life-history trait? An individual-based demo-genetic model as a virtual laboratory.

Ana Lindeza: Resource availability as a key environmental constraint on maturation in the ectothermic vertebrate rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Lilian Redon: The effects of migration-related genotype on swimming behavior in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss.
