Mitochondrial variation in Anopheles gambiae and An. coluzzii: phylogeographic legacy of species isolation and mito-nuclear associations with metabolic resistance to pathogens and insecticides

The paper analyzes mitochondrial DNA variation in Anopheles gambiae and An. coluzzii, revealing phylogeographic patterns and mito-nuclear associations with metabolic resistance.

Standing genetic variation and chromosome differences drove rapid ecotype formation in a major malaria vector

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to show that standing genetic variation and chromosomal differences drove rapid ecotype formation in Anopheles funestus, a malaria vector, adapting to different habitats.

Ancient dolphin genomes reveal rapid repeated adaptation to coastal waters

This study uses ancient dolphin genomes to show rapid adaptation to coastal habitats through standing genetic variation and gene flow from coastal to pelagic populations.

Population genomic evidence of adaptive response during the invasion history of Plasmodium falciparum in the Americas

This study analyzes genome-wide polymorphisms in Plasmodium falciparum isolates to investigate its invasion history and adaptive responses in the Americas.

Harbor porpoise losing its edges: genetic time series suggests a rapid population decline in Iberian waters over the last 30 years

The paper analyzes mitochondrial genetic variation in harbor porpoises in Iberia over 30 years, finding a significant decline in genetic diversity, suggesting population decline due to environmental or anthropogenic factors.

Joint inference of species histories and gene flow

The paper introduces a method to infer species trees while accounting for gene flow, showing improved accuracy in species history reconstruction for mosquitoes.

No leading-edge effect in North Atlantic harbor porpoises: Evolutionary and conservation implications

This study investigates the population structure and phylogeographic history of North Atlantic harbor porpoises, finding no leading-edge effect despite Pleistocene climate changes.

Selection on ancestral genetic variation fuels parallel ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins

The paper investigates how selection on ancestral genetic variation drives parallel ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins by analyzing whole genomes of 57 individuals.

Europe as a bridgehead in the worldwide invasion history of grapevine downy mildew, Plasmopara viticola

The paper traces the invasion history of Plasmopara viticola, showing it originated from North America and spread globally through Europe as a secondary source.

Evolutionary history of the porpoises (Phocoenidae) across the speciation continuum: a mitogenome phylogeographic perspective

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of porpoises using mitochondrial genomes, revealing patterns shaped by Quaternary Glaciations and highlighting conservation implications.

Genetic homogeneity in face of morphological heterogeneity in the harbor porpoises from the Black Sea and adjacent waters

The paper investigates genetic structure in Black Sea harbor porpoises and finds near-complete genetic homogeneity despite morphological heterogeneity, suggesting potential for cryptic population subdivision.

Assessing connectivity despite high diversity in island populations of a malaria mosquito

The paper assesses connectivity in Anopheles gambiae populations on Lake Victoria islands, finding one island as genetically differentiated as continental populations, suggesting it could be a suitable site for malaria eradication field-testing.

Genetic footprint of Population Fragmentation and Contemporaneous Decline in the endangered Yangtze Finless Porpoise

The paper analyzes genetic data from Yangtze finless porpoises to show population fragmentation, low genetic diversity, and recent decline linked to habitat degradation and human activity.

Patterns of divergence across the geographic and genomic landscape of a butterfly hybrid zone associated with a climatic gradient

The paper examines divergence patterns in a butterfly hybrid zone, identifying genomic regions under selection and their association with ecological and intrinsic factors.
