Confirmation of a unique and genetically diverse ‘heritage’ strain of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in a remote Adirondack watershed
In fisheries management, understanding anthropogenic impacts on fish population genetic structure is essential because genetic diversity is a fundamental attribute contributing to a species’ evolutionary capac...

Microsatellite primers designed from pyrosequences to compare two subspecies of surf clam, Spisula solidissima
It was recently discovered that two cryptic subspecies of surf clam co-occur in near-shore waters of southern New England, Spisula solidissima solidissima and Spisula solidissima similis. The latter form was prev...

Open AccessTranscriptomic analysis of candidate osmoregulatory genes in the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica
The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is a euryhaline species that can thrive across a wide range of salinities (5-35). As with all estuarine species, individual oysters must be able to regulate their osmoti...

The Emergence of an Endangered Species: Evolution and Phylogeny of the Trachypithecus geei of Bhutan
Golden langurs (Trachypithecus geei) are an endangered primate species in Bhutan. We discuss their evolution in terms of phylogeny, ecology, and biogeography. We test the hypothesis that rivers and mountains in B...

A genetic test for recruitment enhancement in Chesapeake Bay oysters, Crassostrea virginica, after population supplementation with a disease tolerant strain
Many of the methods currently employed to restore Chesapeake Bay populations of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, assume closed recruitment in certain sub-estuaries despite planktonic larval durations of...
