15 years. 1,100 adults. 3,400 juveniles. One question: do immigrants pay a fitness cost in the wild?🐟 Yes, but only sometimes. The cost of dispersal in Atlantic salmon depends on the origin, sex and age. Out now doi.org/10.1098/rspb... in ProcB @royalsocietypublishing.org 1/4

Selection against dispersers: sex, age and origin-dependent fitness differences in wild Atlantic salmon
Abstract. Local adaptation is often portrayed as uniform fitness disadvantages of immigrants relative to locals. Yet dispersal costs vary with origin, sex

Emilio Egal’s first PhD paper on the effects of dispersal on fitness in wild Atlantic salmon, using a 15-year genetic pedigree comprising more than 1,100 adults and 3,400 juveniles! @inrae-france.bsky.social @inrae-ecobiop.bsky.social @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social @ofbiodiversite.bsky.social

I had the pleasure of presenting my research on "Reproductive success of immigrants depends on the population of origin in Atlantic salmon" at the ESEB Congress 2025 in Barcelona @eseb2025.bsky.social @eseb.bsky.social Thanks to the organizers and to all participants ! #ESEB2025

I had the pleasure of presenting my research on "Fitness of immigrants depends on the population of origin in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)" at the Ecology & Behaviour 2025 conference held at the CEFE, Montpellier. Thanks to the organizers and to all participants ! @ecobhvr2025.bsky.social @cnrs.fr
