The role of gill raker number variability in adaptive radiation of coregonid fish (2011, background): “Coregonid fishes have a circumpolar distribution with frequent co-occurrence of multiple ecologically and morphologically distinct morphs (Svärdson 1979; Bernatchez et al. 1999; Amundsen et al. 2004b).”
Sympatric diversification as influenced by ecological opportunity and historical contingency in a young species lineage of whitefish (2010, methodology): “Based on previous knowledge, we expected distributions to be unimodal, bimodal or trimodal (Amundsen et al., 2004b; Kahilainen and Østbye, 2006; Harrod et al., 2010).”
Competitive exclusion after invasion? (2008, background): “…specialization of vendace, including its many, long and densely packed gill rakers to retain small-sized food particles (Sanderson et al. 2001; Amundsen et al. 2004), combined with early maturation and high fecundity, is consistent with its competitive advantage over other zooplanktivore fish…”
