Temporal analysis shows relaxed genetic erosion following improved stocking practices in a subarctic transnational brown trout population

Abstract Maintaining standing genetic variation is a challenge in human-dominated landscapes. We used genetic (i.e., 16 short tandem repeats) and morphological (i.e., length and weight) measurements of 593 contemporary and historical brown trout (Salmo trutta) samples to study fine-scale and short-t...
