Quantifying temporal genomic erosion in endangered species
Many species have undergone dramatic population size declines over the past centuries.
Although stochastic genetic processes during and after such declines are thought to elevate …

Single-haplotype comparative genomics provides insights into lineage-specific structural variation during cat evolution
The role of structurally dynamic genomic regions in speciation is poorly understood due to
challenges inherent in diploid genome assembly. Here we reconstructed the evolutionary …

New developments in the field of genomic technologies and their relevance to conservation management
Recent technological advances in the field of genomics offer conservation managers and
practitioners new tools to explore for conservation applications. Many of these tools are well …

Neutral genetic diversity as a useful tool for conservation biology
In a recent perspective paper, Teixeira and Huber (2021)(T&H hereafter) argue that “neutral
genetic diversity has only very limited relevance for conservation genetics”. They emphasize …

Purging of deleterious burden in the endangered Iberian lynx
D Kleinman-Ruiz, M Lucena-Perez… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Deleterious mutations continuously accumulate in populations, building up a burden that
can threaten their survival, particularly in small populations when inbreeding exposes …

Genetic load has potential in large populations but is realized in small inbred populations
Populations with higher genetic diversity and larger effective sizes have greater evolutionary
capacity (ie, adaptive potential) to respond to ecological stressors. We are interested in how …

Transposons played a major role in the diversification between the closely related almond and peach genomes: results from the almond genome sequence
We sequenced the genome of the highly heterozygous almond Prunus dulcis cv. Texas
combining short‐and long‐read sequencing. We obtained a genome assembly totaling …

Survival and divergence in a small group: The extraordinary genomic history of the endangered Apennine brown bear stragglers
About 100 km east of Rome, in the central Apennine Mountains, a critically endangered
population of∼ 50 brown bears live in complete isolation. Mating outside this population is …

Recombination-aware phylogenomics reveals the structured genomic landscape of hybridizing cat species
Current phylogenomic approaches implicitly assume that the predominant phylogenetic
signal within a genome reflects the true evolutionary history of organisms, without assessing …
