During the last deglaciation, one clade of European whitefish ( Coregonus lavaretus L.) colonized the lakes in the three contemporary watercourses of northern Fennoscandia (Pasvik, Tana and Alta) and diverged thereafter in sympatry. This thesis investigates the interplay between evolutionary process...
