Submitted another manuscript today- really excited for this one to come out- โ€œBroken Barriers: Genetic Swamping in a Restored Brook Trout Populationโ€. We examined multi-source stocked restoration site with one-way migration and examined how the landscape impacted the mixture of source populations.
