Assessing natural and disturbed population structure in European grayling Thymallus thymallus: melding phylogeographic, population genetic and jurisdictional perspectives for conservation planning.

Abstract excerpt

Natural and human-mediated population structure of European grayling Thymallus thymallus was assessed in primarily Austrian reaches of the Danube River catchment. Data on phylogeographic structure based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were combined with variation found across 13 microsatellite loci to assess introgression stemming from stocking activities. Populations north of the Alps generally showed no signs of...
