Bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) population structure and extent of hybridization with brook trout (S. fontinalis) across Alberta's Eastern Slopes
… and diversity of bull trout across Alberta’s Eastern Slopes. Our results indicate that while hybridization outcomes vary by site, post-F1 hybridization was low. This suggests that a loss of demographic output to F1 hybrids is likely the greatest impact from hybridization on bull trout …
