Ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is associated with large shifts in allele frequencies at hundreds of loci

Ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is associated with large shifts in allele frequencies at hundreds of loci

Atlantic herring is widespread in North Atlantic and adjacent waters and is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth. This species is well suited to explore genetic adaptation due to minute genetic differentiation at selectively neutral loci. Here, we report hundreds of loci underlying ecologic...
