Genomic vulnerability of a freshwater salmonid under climate change by Anna Tigano, Tyler Weir, Hillary G. M. Ward, Marika Kirstin Gale, Carmen M. Wong, Erika J. Eliason, Kristina M. Miller, Scott G. Hinch, Michael A. Russello

“…To assess its climate vulnerability moving forward, we integrated analyses of standing genetic variation, genotype‐environment associations, and climate modeling based on sequence and structural genomic variation from 224 whole genomes sampled from 22 lakes in British Columbia and Yukon (Canada). We found that variables for extreme temperatures, particularly warmer temperatures, had the most pervasive signature of selection in the genome and were the strongest predictors of levels of standing variation and of putatively adaptive genomic variation, both sequence and structural. …”

Ecosystem carbon emissions from 2015 forest fires in interior Alaska by Christopher Potter

“…Abstract Background In the summer of 2015, hundreds of wildfires burned across the state of Alaska, and consumed more than 1.6 million ha of boreal forest and wetlands in the Yukon–Koyukuk region. Mapping of 113 large wildfires using Landsat satellite images from before and after 2015 indicated that nearly 60% of this area was burned at moderate-to-high severity levels. …”
