Pavlov D.A., Osinov A.G. 2008. Reproduction and development in the dwarf form of Arctic Charr Salvelinus alpinus from Lake Davatchan, Transbaikalia (original) (raw)

This study investigates the reproductive biology and developmental stages of the dwarf form of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) from Lake Davatchan in Transbaikalia. It provides insights into the distinct morpho-ecological characteristics of the dwarf form compared to sympatric small and large forms, noting its reproductive isolation and unique developmental timeline. The findings highlight the low genetic variation among populations and contribute to understanding the ecological adaptations and evolutionary perspectives of Arctic charr in postglacial environments.
