Spatial correlations of transferrin allele frequencies in Atlantic salmon (salmo-salar) populations from north-america
Existing analyses of spatial patterns of transferrin (Tf) allele frequency variation in anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from rivers in North America have not utilized all available data. Further analysis shows that a latitudinal dine in Tf-4 allele frequency previously reported is an artefa...
