A step-by-step tutorial for creating meadow plots and candidate peak summaries from pixy output.

Abstract. Most biologically relevant traits are quantitative, controlled by multiple genes, and can be influenced by the environment. The multiple genes, c

Identifying which populations within species to prioritize to maintain genetic diversity is challenging. Due to its direct connection to current patterns of adaptation and presumed connection to adap....

Despite the important role that species concepts and taxonomy play in understanding the evolution of species, taxonomists have struggled to describe the relationship between many organisms. Here, usi...

Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) populations have experienced significant declines in recent decades. In Canada, conservation efforts are divided into 16 designatable units (DUs) to address unique regio...

Adaptive potential determines how populations respond to environmental change. This study compiles evolvability estimates from over 170 multicellular species, revealing substantial variation across th...

By analyzing genomes from 241 Florida scrub-jays across five populations and two time points, Nguyen et al. reveal substantial losses of genetic diversity and increased inbreeding following population...

That tweet is back. You know the one. A PhD thesis, it says, is the only book in the world read cover to cover by exactly three people: the author, the proofreader, and the examiner. The screenshot…

In this paper we study genetic variation at a highly polymorphic locus of a monoecious or dioecious population whose census and effective sizes differ and possibly vary independently over time. More s...

Abstract. Understanding reproductive isolation (RI) between lineages is a central goal of speciation research. While the strength of RI has been estimated

Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) populations are at historic lows, primarily due to poor marine survival, and knowledge gaps regarding their migration limit our ability to identify population-specific st...

Abstract. Predicting phenotypes from genetic variation is a central challenge in biology. Here, machine learning (ML) offers great promise, but its use is

Abstract. Many long-standing questions in population genomics can now be addressed through comparative analyses and by leveraging the vast amount of genomi

A comprehensive understanding of life history is vital to successful species conservation and management. When different life history stages are accompanied by considerable morphological or cryptic va...

Achieving global biodiversity targets requires reliable identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs). The KBA Standard defines six metrics to ident…

As anthropogenic habitat fragmentation and population decline accelerate globally, growing numbers of species face compounding demographic and genetic threats to long-term survival. Many populations a...

Biomass and abundance data are critical for ecosystem monitoring and management of fish populations, yet their acquisition represents a growing challenge as anthropogenic pressures intensify the need....

Abstract. Many species of Colias butterflies show a female-limited colour polymorphism where the dominant Alba allele leads to white wings, faster developm

Identifying close relatives in wild animal populations is fundamental across many research fields. Genetic estimates of relatedness have expanded rapidly in recent decades, drawing on a range of gene....

Our work points to the importance of both Western science and IK data sources in models used for conservation and management decisions. We show how the models that include the IK result in more infor...

Background Xenarthrans, comprising sloths, anteaters, and armadillos, represent one of the most morphologically and physiologically specialized mammalian clades, yet the genomic basis of their adaptat...

Mutation rates per generation are strikingly similar across germlines of animals and across at least one somatic cell type, suggesting a key role for natural selection in shaping mutation rates. This ...

Deep learning models have emerged as promising tools for navigating mutational landscapes in protein engineering. These models can be used to predict mutation fitness without the need for task-specifi...

The loss of genetic diversity is a major threat to population resilience, posing a challenge for conservation efforts. This Review highlights how the integration of large-scale biodiversity monitoring...

Abstract. Habitat loss contributes to extinction risk in multiple ways. Genetically, small populations can face an ‘extinction vortex’—a positive feedback

Abstract. Local adaptation is often portrayed as uniform fitness disadvantages of immigrants relative to locals. Yet dispersal costs vary with origin, sex

Understanding how demographic dynamics interact with environmental heterogeneity is central to explaining patterns of genomic variation in the marine realm. Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops...

Abstract. Despite growing evidence of widespread genetic responses to anthropogenic activity, data shortfalls constrain genetic monitoring efforts and prec

Shiny application that walks researchers through building a high-quality README file for research datasets and code. Automatically describes tabular data columns (ranges, levels, NAs), det...

Abstract. Human-driven biodiversity loss, intensified by illegal hunting and trafficking, has caused severe wildlife population declines and extinctions, n
