Effective population size does not explain long-term variation in genome size and transposable element content in animals

A. Marino, G. Debaecker, A.-S. Fiston-Lavier, A. Haudry, B. Nabholz

The paper examines the relationship between effective population size and genome size variation in animals, finding no evidence that genetic drift drives TE accumulation across species.

Demographic responses of oceanic island birds to local and regional ecological disruptions revealed by whole-genome sequencing

M. Gabrielli, T. Leroy, J. Salmona, B. Nabholz, B. Mila, C. Thebaud

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze demographic responses of island birds to local and regional ecological disruptions, finding synchronous population size reductions during the Last Glacial Maximum in Reunion species.

Evolution of immune genes in island birds: reduction in population sizes can explain island syndrome

M. Barthe, C. Doutrelant, R. Covas, M. Melo, J. C. Illera, M.-K. Tilak, C. Colombier, T. Leroy, C. Loiseau, B. Nabholz

This study investigates immune gene evolution in island birds, finding demographic effects reduce genetic diversity and selection efficacy, but relaxed selection due to reduced parasite pressure is only evident in some immune gene categories.

Evolutionary forces affecting synonymous variations in plant genomes

Y. Clement, G. Sarah, Y. Holtz, F. Homa, S. Pointet, S. Contreras, B. Nabholz, F. Sabot, L. Saune, M. Ardisson, R. Bacilieri, G. Besnard, A. Berger, C. Cardi, F. De Bellis, , S. Glemin

The paper investigates the evolutionary forces shaping synonymous variations in plant genomes, finding that GC-biased gene conversion is more prevalent and stronger than selection in most species.
