Whole genome assembly and annotation of the King Angelfish (Holacanthus passer) gives insight into the evolution of marine fishes of the Tropical Eastern Pacific

R. Gatins, C. F. Arias, C. Sanchez, G. Bernardi, L. F. De Leon

The paper assembles and annotates the genome of the King Angelfish, revealing population expansion history shaped by the closure of the Isthmus of Panama prior to the last glacial maximum.

Comparative phylogeography reveals widespread cryptic diversity driven by ecology in Panamanian birds

J. F. McLaughlin, C. Aguilar, J. M. Bernstein, W. G. Navia-Gine, L. E. Cueto-Aparicio, A. C. Alarcon, B. D. Alarcon, R. Collier, A. Takyar, S. J. Vong, O. G. Lopez-Chong, R. Driver, J. R. Loaiza, L. F. De Leon, K. Saltonstall, , M. J. Miller

This study identifies cryptic diversity in Panamanian birds using mitochondrial DNA barcodes and finds ecological factors, not geography, drive speciation.

Proteomic fingerprint identification of Neotropical hard tick species (Acari: Ixodidae) using a self-curated mass spectra reference library

R. A. Gittens, A. Almanza, E. Alvarez, K. Bennett, L. C. Mejia, J. E. Sanchez-Galan, F. Merchan, J. Kern, M. J. Miller, H. J. Esser, R. Hwang, M. Dong, L. F. De Leon, J. R. Loaiza

The paper identifies Neotropical hard tick species using MALDI mass spectra and machine learning, showing that self-curated reference libraries can replace commercial ones for accurate identification.

Hidden biodiversity in Neotropical streams: DNA barcoding uncovers high endemicity of freshwater macroinvertebrates at small spatial scales

L. F. De Leon, A. Cornejo, R. G. Gavilan, C. Aguilar

This study uses DNA barcoding to reveal high lineage diversity and endemicity of Neotropical freshwater macroinvertebrates at small spatial scales in the Panama Canal Watershed.
