The deep sea has been described as the last major ecological frontier, as much of its
biodiversity is yet to be discovered and described. Beaked whales (ziphiids) are among the …

The black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis L.) is a critically endangered species historically
distributed across sub-Saharan Africa. Hunting and habitat disturbance have diminished …

Abstract Information on wildlife population structure, demographic history, and adaptations
are fundamental to understanding species evolution and informing conservation strategies …

The deep sea is the largest ecosystem on Earth, yet little is known about the processes
driving patterns of genetic diversity in its inhabitants. Here, we investigated the macro-and …

Computing distance between two genomes without alignments or even access to
assemblies has many downstream analyses. However, alignment-free methods, including in …

The gray wolf (Canis lupus) population on the Iberian Peninsula was the largest in western
and central Europe during most of the 20th century, with its size apparently never under a …

Across its range, the Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica is divided into four separate genetic
clusters that correspond with geography and/or size differences. However, in the Western …

Abstract The Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) is an endangered cetacean that
ranges throughout much of Southeast Asia and lives in coastal, estuarine, and riverine …

While alignment has been the dominant approach for determining homology prior to
phylogenetic inference, alignment-free methods can simplify the analysis, especially when …

Leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) are top predators that can exert substantial top-down
control of their Antarctic prey species. However, population trends and genetic diversity of …
