Purifying and balancing selection on embryonic semi-lethal haplotypes in a wild mammal.

M. A. Stoffel, S. E. Johnston, J. Pilkington, J. M. Pemberton

The paper identifies three semi-lethal haplotypes in Soay sheep, showing two are under purifying selection while one is maintained by balancing selection due to increased postnatal survival.

Conservation management strategy impacts inbreeding and mutation load in scimitar-horned oryx

E. Humble, M. A. Stoffel, K. Dicks, A. D. Ball, R. M. Gooley, J. Chuven, R. Pusey, M. al Remeithi, K.-P. Koepfli, B. Pukazhenthi, H. Senn, R. Ogden

The paper examines how different conservation management strategies affect inbreeding and mutation load in scimitar-horned oryx using whole genome sequencing data.

Mutation load decreases with haplotype age in wild Soay sheep

M. A. Stoffel, S. E. Johnston, J. G. Pilkington, J. M. Pemberton

The paper examines how mutation load decreases with haplotype age in wild Soay sheep by analyzing ROH and their effects on fitness.

Genetic architecture and lifetime dynamics of inbreeding depression in a wild mammal

M. A. Stoffel, S. E. Johnston, J. G. Pilkington, J. M. Pemberton

This study investigates the genetic architecture of inbreeding depression in wild Soay sheep using long-term data and SNP genotypes, finding that inbreeding significantly reduces survival odds in lambs but less so with age.

Chemical patterns of colony membership and mother-offspring similarity in Antarctic fur seals are reproducible over time

J. Tebbe, E. Humble, M. A. Stoffel, L. J. Tewes, C. Mueller, J. Forcada, B. Caspers, J. I. Hoffman

The paper replicates a previous study on Antarctic fur seals, confirming that colony membership and mother-offspring chemical similarity are reproducible over time and across colonies.

Recent demographic histories and genetic diversity across pinnipeds are shaped by anthropogenic interactions and mediated by ecology and life-history

M. A. Stoffel, E. Humble, K. Acevedo-Whitehouse, B. L. Chilvers, B. Dickerson, F. Galimberti, N. Gemmell, S. D. Goldsworthy, H. J. Nichols, O. Krueger, S. Negro, A. Osborne, A. J. Paijmans, T. Pastor, B. C. Robertson, , J. I. Hoffman

The paper examines genetic diversity in pinnipeds, showing that recent population declines are linked to historical commercial exploitation, ecology, and life history traits, with no direct correlation to IUCN status.

GCalignR: An R package for aligning Gas-Chromatography data

M. Ottensmann, M. A. Stoffel, H. J. Nichols, J. I. Hoffman

GCalignR aligns GC-FID chromatograms using retention times, offering visual tools and low error rates, outperforming existing software in some cases.

Adult sex ratio bias in snowy plovers is driven by sex-specific early survival: implications for mating systems and population growth

L. J. Eberhart-Phillips, C. Kuepper, T. E. X. Miller, M. Cruz-Lopez, K. H. Maher, N. dos Remedios, M. A. Stoffel, J. I. Hoffman, O. Krueger, T. Szekely

The paper shows that male-biased adult sex ratio in snowy plovers is driven by sex-specific juvenile survival, not adult survival, and highlights the importance of sex-specific models for population dynamics.
