Abstract excerpt
How species time reproduction and adapt to environmental conditions are key topics in ecology and evolutionary biology. Here, we conducted a high-resolution population genetic analysis of Baltic herring, a subspecies of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus). Genotypes at >4,500 SNPs were generated f...
