BACKGROUND Culture—the inheritance of an array of behavioral traditions through social
learning from others—was once thought specific to humans. Recent and accumulating …

A key goal of conservation is to protect biodiversity by supporting the long-term persistence
of viable, natural populations of wild species. Conservation practice has long been guided …

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 …

The software Treemix has become extensively used to estimate the number of migration
events, or edges (m), on population trees from genome-wide allele frequency data …

As populations diverge, genetic differences accumulate across the genome. Spurred by
rapid developments in sequencing technology, genome-wide population surveys of natural …

Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

Cancer researchers have traditionally used the mouse and the rat as staple model
organisms. These animals are very short-lived, reproduce rapidly and are highly prone to …

Research on animal–microbiota interactions has become a central topic in biological
sciences because of its relevance to basic eco-evolutionary processes and applied …

Background Microsatellite markers are widely used for estimating genetic diversity within
and differentiation among populations. However, it has rarely been tested whether such …

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 …
