Evidence of unidirectional gene flow in a fragmented population of Salmo trutta L.
Abstract Selection, genetic drift, and gene flow affect genetic variation within populations and genetic differences among populations. Both drift and selection tend to decrease variation within populations and increase differences among populations, whereas gene flow increases variation within popu...
