Genetic evidence of a hybrid swarm between Alpine ibex and domestic goat

The paper identifies ongoing hybridization between Alpine ibex and domestic goat using SNP analysis and phenotype data, revealing a hybrid swarm in specific regions.

Facilitated introgression from domestic goat into Alpine ibex at immune loci

The paper identifies recent introgression from domestic goats into Alpine ibex genomes, particularly at immune-related loci, suggesting adaptive benefits during population recovery.

Low-coverage reduced representation sequencing reveals subtle within-island genetic structure in Aldabra giant tortoises

The paper uses low-coverage ddRAD sequencing to analyze genetic structure in Aldabra giant tortoises, finding subtle within-island differentiation but no between-island differentiation.

Ancient mitogenomes unravel massive genetic diversity loss during near extinction of Alpine ibex

This study uses ancient and modern mitogenomes to show a dramatic reduction in mitochondrial diversity in Alpine ibex during near extinction, with one lineage becoming dominant and another surviving in isolation.

Disentangling adaptation from drift in bottlenecked and reintroduced populations of Alpine ibex

This study assesses the ability of selection detection methods to distinguish adaptation from drift in bottlenecked Alpine ibex populations using simulations and empirical data.

Purging of highly deleterious mutations through severe bottlenecks in Alpine ibex

The paper shows that severe population bottlenecks in Alpine ibex led to purging of highly deleterious mutations but accumulation of mildly deleterious ones, highlighting the need to prevent population declines below ~1000 individuals.
