Genetic evidence for different migration routes of freshwater fish into Norway revealed by analysis of current perch ( Perca fluviatilis) populations in Scandinavia
To elucidate the colonization of freshwater fish into Norway following the last deglaciation of Europe 10 000 years ago, we have performed a survey using mitochondrial DNA variation (20 populations) and multilocus DNA fingerprinting (14 populations) of the widely distributed perch ( Perca fluviatili...
