The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

Genetic variation, which is generated by mutation, recombination and gene flow, can reduce
the mean fitness of a population, both now and in the future. This 'genetic load'has been …

Deleterious mutations decrease reproductive fitness and are ubiquitous in genomes. Given
that many organisms face ongoing threats of extinction, there is interest in elucidating the …

Genetic rescue–ameliorating inbreeding depression and restoring genetic diversity of inbred
populations through gene flow-is valuable in wildlife conservation. Empirically validated …

As of 2022, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List estimates
that more than 32% of fungal, plant, and animal species are threatened with extinction. This …

Effective population size, Ne, is a key evolutionary parameter that determines the levels of
genetic variation and efficacy of selection. Estimation and interpretation of Ne are essential …

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a charismatic megafauna species that originated and diversified
in Asia and probably experienced population contraction and expansion during the …

In this study, we synthesize terrestrial and marine proxy records, spanning the past 620 ky,
to decipher pan-African climate variability and its drivers and potential linkages to hominin …

Baboons (genus Papio) are a morphologically and behaviorally diverse clade of catarrhine
monkeys that have experienced hybridization between phenotypically and genetically …

Comparative population genomics is an ascendant field using genomic comparisons
between species to draw inferences about forces regulating genetic variation. Comparative …
