Population structure and genetic diversity of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) above and below natural and man-made barriers in the Russian River, California
@article{Deiner2006PopulationSA, title={Population structure and genetic diversity of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) above and below natural and man-made barriers in the Russian River, California}, author={Kristy Deiner and John Carlos Garza and Robert Coey and Derek J Girman}, journal={Conservation Genetics}, year={2006}, volume={8}, pages={437-454} }
The effects of landscape features on gene flow in threatened and endangered species play an important role in influencing the genetic structure of populations. We examined genetic variation of trout in the species Oncorhynchus mykiss at 22 microsatellite loci from 20 sites in the Russian River basin in central California. We assessed relative patterns of genetic structure and variation in fish from above and below both natural (waterfalls) and man-made (dams) barriers. Additionally, we compared…

Data indicate that Cabinet Gorge bull trout are most likely individuals that hatched in above‐dam tributaries, reared in Lake Pend Oreille, and could not return to their natal tributary to spawn, which suggests that the risk of outbreeding depression associated with passing adults over dams in the Clark Fork system is minimal.
