Abstract “Conservation genomics” encompasses the idea that genome-scale data will
improve the capacity of resource managers to protect species. Although genetic approaches …

High-throughput DNA sequencing techniques enable time-and cost-effective sequencing of
large portions of the genome. Instead of sequencing and annotating whole genomes, many …

Low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) has emerged as a powerful and cost‐
effective approach for population genomic studies in both model and nonmodel species …

Molecular phylogenies have yielded strong support for many parts of the amphibian Tree of
Life, but poor support for the resolution of deeper nodes, including relationships among …

The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) provides critical models for studying regeneration,
evolution, and development. However, its large genome (∼ 32 Gb) presents a formidable …

Population genomics is advancing our understanding of evolution, ecology, conservation,
agriculture, forestry, and human health by allowing new and long-standing questions to be …

Newts of the genus Triturus (marbled and crested newts) exhibit substantial variation in the
number of trunk vertebrae (NTV) and a higher NTV corresponds to a longer annual aquatic …

Population genomic tools have revolutionized many aspects of biology, as detailed
throughout the chapters of this volume. In particular, population genomics has provided key …

Phylogenetic relationships in species complexes and lineages derived from rapid
diversifications are often challenging to resolve using morphology or standard DNA …

European marbled newts come in two species that have abutting ranges. The northern
species, Triturus marmoratus, is found in France and the northern part of the Iberian …
