Chinook make their way up the Klamath River every year, but fewer and fewer arrive in the spring.

Various concerned groups have been petitioning NOAA Fisheries to list spring-run Chinook salmon in Oregon and Northern California for over a decade.

Whether the galls that aphids make on witch hazel leaves are red or green is associated with a gene expressed in the insects’ salivary glands.

The large-scale experiments aim to test how the technology would fare in the wild, if deployed to knock down populations of the pests.

In addition to serving as a set of instructions to build an individual, the genome can influence neighboring organisms and, potentially, entire ecosystems.

A new study finds that an Alaskan population of the fish has quickly evolved in response to warming temperatures.

A new SNP assay can determine the geographical origin of commonly overexploited fish species.

Two genome-wide studies, backed up by field experiments, identify SNPs that correlate with Arabidopsis fitness in various climates.
