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.

Distinct patterns of genetic variation at low-recombining genomic regions represent haplotype structure

J. Ishigohoka, K. Bascon-Cardozo, A. Bours, J. Fuss, A. Rhie, J. Mountcastle, B. Haase, W. Chow, J. Collins, K. Howe, M. Uliano-Silva, O. Fedrigo, E. D. Jarvis, J. Perez-Tris, J. C. Illera, M. Liedvogel

The paper identifies distinct genetic variation patterns in low-recombining regions of Eurasian blackcap genomes, attributing them to reduced recombination rates rather than selection.

Island songbirds as windows into evolution in small populations

T. Leroy, M. Rousselle, M.-K. Tilak, A. Caizergues, C. Scornavacca, M. Recuerda Carrasco, J. Fuchs, J. C. Illera, D. H. De Swardt, G. Blanco, C. Thebaud, B. Mila, B. Nabholz

This study examines island songbird genomes to test predictions about evolutionary forces in small populations, finding lower genetic diversity and reduced adaptive potential.
