Full textLandscape genetics is being increasingly applied to elucidate the role of environmental features on the population structure of terrestrial organisms. However, the potential of this framework has been little explored in aquatic ecosystems such as large rivers. Here, we used a landscape genetics approach in order to: i) document the population structure of the yellow perch (Perca flavescens) by means of genetic variation at microsatellite markers, ii) assess to what extent the structure was explained by landscape heterogeneity, and iii) interpret the relevance of interactions between genetics and landscape for management and conservation. Analysis of the genetic variation revealed a relatively modest overall level of genetic structuring (FST = 0.039), with three zones of restricted gene flow defining four distinct populations. Physical barriers played a more important role on gene flow and genetic structure than waterway geographic distance. We found correlations between genetic differentiation and presence of distinct water masses in the sector of Lake Saint-Louis (r = 0.7177, P = 0.0340) and with fragmentation of spawning habitats in the sector of Lake Saint-Pierre (r = 0.8578, P = 0.0095). Our results support the treatment of four distinct biological units, which is in contrast with the current basis for yellow perch management. Finally, this study showed that landscape genetics is a powerful means to identify environmental barriers to gene flow causing genetic discontinuities in apparently highly connected aquatic landscapes.

Full textPlusieurs recherches menées au cours des quinze dernières années ont permis de changer le modèle classique du cycle vital des anguillidés. En effet, il semblerait bien que la catadromie soit un mode de vie facultatif étant donnée l’existence d’individus qui complètent l’exclusivité de leur phase de croissance en milieu saumâtre ou marin, ou qui effectuent des mouvements entre les habitats d’eau salée et d’eau douce. Dans le cadre de la présente étude, nous avons réalisé des tracés multi-éléments à l’aide de la spectrométrie de masse à plasma induite couplée à l’ablation par laser (LA ICP-MS) sur des otolithes d’anguilles d’Amérique (Anguilla rostrata) échantillonnées à travers le système hydrographique du Saint-Laurent – Lac Ontario, dans le but de reconstruire le patron d’utilisation de l’habitat durant la phase de croissance. Les profils de strontium (88Sr), baryum (138Ba), manganèse (55Mn) et magnésium (24Mg) nous ont permis de distinguer parmi trois signatures chimiques qui pourraient représenter trois habitats distincts. Deux de ces signatures correspondent à des habitats dulcicoles tandis qu’une autre représente un habitat estuarien. Environ 10% des anguilles échantillonnées ont utilisé cet habitat estuarien après avoir recruté dans le système. L’interprétation des deux habitats dulcicoles est moins évidente mais ceux-ci pourraient correspondre à des zones humides côtières et des zones d’eaux ouvertes. La majorité (78%) des changements d’habitats ont eu lieu durant les quatre premières années en eaux continentales. Nos résultats suggèrent que les anguilles en phase de croissance dans le Saint-Laurent sont capables d’effectuer des mouvements de l’ordre d’au moins 200 km. Ces premières informations sur les mouvements d’anguilles jaunes dans le Saint-Laurent ont d’importantes implications pour la gestion et la conservation de l’espèce.
A number of papers published during the last 15 years have reshaped our long-held understanding of the lifecycle of anguillid eels. Catadromy among anguillids appears to be facultative with some individuals carrying out their growth stage exclusively in brackish or coastal marine waters, or even making movements between these and freshwater. For the present study, multi-element line scans were obtained, using LA ICP-MS, from the otoliths of 110 eels sampled at various locations throughout the Saint Lawrence River Lake Ontario (SLRLO) system in an attempt to retrace habitat use during their growth stage. Elemental profiles for strontium (88Sr), barium (138Ba), manganese (55Mn) and magnesium (24Mg) enabled us to distinguish three chemical signatures that might represent distinct habitats within the SLRLO. One of these was shown to likely correspond to the brackish estuary. Approximately 10% of eels were observed to make use of this estuarine habitat after recruiting to the system as elvers. These individuals were sampled at the three most downstream sites suggesting that individuals recruiting to the upper reaches of the system tend to remain in fresh water. Interpretation of the other two freshwater habitats was much less straightforward but these might correspond to marshland and open water areas. Most (78%) of the habitat switches occurred within the first 4 years after recruiting as elvers suggesting an increasing likelihood for eels to settle in one habitat as they grow older. The fact that our results indicate that yellow eels can undertake within-river movements on the order of at least 200 km has important implications for the management and conservation of this species.

Full textIn this study, we documented the landscape genetics of northern pike (Esox lucius) based on the analysis of 22 microsatellites, comprising 10 markers developed for the purpose of this study, in the Lake Ontario – St. Lawrence River system. Population genetic structure over the whole study area was globally very weak but spatially variable with mean level of differentiation in the upstream (Ontario) section of the studied area being three-fold higher than observed in the downstream (Québec) sector. Twenty environmental variables were considered and different water masses, dams’ presence and inter-annual water level stability were positively associated to the extent of genetic differentiation. Since high water level variation impacts on yearly quality and localization of northern pike spawning habitats, local habitat instability which is under the form of inter-annual water level variation seems to locally impede population genetic structure, perhaps by inhibiting philopatry behavior. Keywords: Esox lucius, northern pike, landscape genetics, population genetic structure, environmental variation, habitat stability, microsatellite markers, management, conservation.
