Alternative developmental pathways and the propensity to migrate: a case study in the Atlantic salmon.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2011

Abstract excerpt

Migratory behaviour with its associated phenotypic changes is generally viewed as an adaptive strategy because it incurs survival or reproductive advantages to migrants. The development of a migrant phenotype is believed to be controlled by threshold mechanisms, where individuals emigrate only after surpassing a particular body size but delay migration if below. For such a strategy to respond to natural...
