      Understanding the historical emergence and growth of long-range fisheries can provide fundamental insights into the timing of ecological impacts and the development of coastal communities during the last millennium. ...
    • Ancient DNA reveals a southern presence of the Northeast Arctic cod during the Holocene 

      Martinez Garcia, Lourdes; Ferrari, Giada; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Jentoft, Sissel; Barrett, James Harold; Star, Bastiaan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Climate change has been implicated in an increased number of distributional shifts of marine species during the last century. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether earlier climatic fluctuations had similar impacts. We use ...
    • Ancient DNA sequence quality is independent of fish bone weight 

      Atmore, Lane Margaret; Ferrari, Giada; Martinez Garcia, Lourdes; van der Jagt, Inge; Blevis, Rachel; Granado, José; Häberle, Simone; Dierickx, Katrien; Quinlan, Liz M.; Lõugas, Lembi; Makowiecki, Daniel; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Barrett, James; Star, Bastiaan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The field of ancient DNA (aDNA) typically uses between 50 and 200 mg of minimum input weight of bone material for the extraction of DNA from archaeological remains. While laboratory and analysis techniques have focused on ...
    • Historical demographic processes dominate genetic variation in ancient Atlantic cod mitogenomes 

      Martinez Garcia, Lourdes; Ferrari, Giada; Oosting, Tom; Ballantyne, Rachel; van der Jagt, Inge; Ystgaard, Ingrid; Harland, Jennifer; Nicholson, Rebecca; Hamilton-Dyer, Sheila; Baalsrud, Helle Tessand; Brieuc, Marine Servane Ono; Atmore, Lane; Burns, Finlay; Schmölcke, Ulrich; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Jentoft, Sissel; Orton, David; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Barrett, James; Star, Bastiaan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Ancient DNA (aDNA) approaches have been successfully used to infer the long-term impacts of climate change, domestication, and human exploitation in a range of terrestrial species. Nonetheless, studies investigating such ...
    • Population dynamics of Baltic herring since the Viking Age revealed by ancient DNA and genomics 

      Atmore, Lane Margaret; Martinez Garcia, Lourdes; Makowiecki, Daniel; André, Carl; Lõugas, Lembi; Barrett, James; Star, Bastiaan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The world’s oceans are currently facing major stressors in the form of overexploitation and anthropogenic climate change. The Baltic Sea was home to the first “industrial” fishery ∼800 y ago targeting the Baltic herring, ...
