Shifting atmospheric circulation patterns over Europe since the 1980s have been the major cause of increasingly severe droughts on the continent, according to nudged circulation climate model simulati...

Molecular Ecology is an international journal for research using molecular genetic techniques to address questions in ecology, evolution, behavior and conservation.

Abstract. Reproductive behavior in sharks remains poorly understood, with direct observations of mating reported in only a few species. The blue shark (Prionace glauca) is a widely distributed, placen...

Heredity - EMIBD9: Estimating 9 condensed IBD coefficients, inbreeding and relatedness from marker genotypes

A long-standing goal in ecological, evolutionary, and conservation genetics is to identify genomic correlates of fitness and inbreeding depression. Over the past several years, a growing body of theor...

Next-generation-sequencing has broadened perspectives regarding the estimation of the effective population size (Ne) by providing high-density genomic information. These technologies have expanded da...

The Asian honeybee, Apis cerana, is an ecologically and economically important pollinator. Mapping its genetic variation is key to understanding population-level health, histories and potential capac...

The reduction in individual and mean population fitness induced by novel deleterious genetic variation is known as the genetic load. Bertorelle et al. review the definition of the genetic load and its...

Microplastics are accumulating in sharks’ gonads and GI tracts, disrupting reproduction and threatening population recovery.

Evolution 2025 - the joint conference of the SSE, ASN, and SSB

Systematic conservation planning (SCP) involves the cost-effective placement and application of management actions to achieve biodiversity conservation objectives. Given the political momentum for gre...

Hilgers et al. detect and solve a common artifact in PSMC and related methods for historical population size inference. Analyses of real and simulated genomes show that ill-set default parameters fals...

A global multi-taxon extinction risk assessment of freshwater fauna for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species finds one-quarter of species to be at high risk of extinction.

How populations adapt to their environment is a fundamental question in biology. Yet, we know surprisingly little about this process, especially for endangered species, such as nonhuman great apes. Ch...

An innovative "living shoreline" combines natural habitats and engineering to protect Highway 98 from storm damage and erosion.

Based on phylogenomic and geometric morphometric analyses of 132 anglerfish species, the authors infer a Cretaceous origin of the clade and show that bathypelagic anglerfish are undergoing rapid pheno...

Project summary Pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, fur seals and walrus) are keystone marine predators, and sentinels for marine ecosystem health. Advances in genomics technologies are opening up the possib...

vonHoldt et al. ((2024), Molecular Ecology, 33, e17231) (vH24) used low-coverage (average ~ 7X read depth) restriction site-associated DNA sequence data to estimate individual inbreeding and heterozy...

Fresh meltwater entering the Labrador and Irminger seas has resulted in a slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation since the 1950s, according to a combination of modelling approaches...

Environmental DNA harvested from the ocean, land and air can help scientists monitor wildlife. The challenge is figuring out how to interpret this eDNA.

Abstract. Speciation is a complex process that can unfold in many different ways. Speciation researchers sometimes simplify core principles in their writin
