African bush pigs exhibit porous species boundaries and appeared in Madagascar concurrently with human arrival

This study analyzes whole genomes of African bushpigs and Malagasy bushpigs, revealing recent divergence and gene flow, challenging species boundaries and linking their arrival in Madagascar to human migration.

Redefining rock doves, Columba livia, using historical whole genome sequences

This study uses historical whole-genome sequences of rock doves to redefine their taxonomy, population structure, and domestication history.

Conservation implications of elucidating the Korean wolf taxonomic ambiguity through whole-genome sequencing

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to resolve the taxonomic status of the Korean wolf, finding it genetically similar to other East Asian wolves and not a distinct lineage.

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.

The germline mutational process in rhesus macaque and its implications for phylogenetic dating

The paper estimates the germline mutation rate in rhesus macaques and finds paternal age correlation, male contribution dominance, and divergence time implications for primate phylogeny.

Abundance of whales in West and East Greenland in summer 2015

The paper estimates whale abundance in West and East Greenland in 2015, finding higher densities in East Greenland and a decline in baleen whales and white-beaked dolphins compared to 2007.

Modern wolves trace their origin to a late Pleistocene expansion from Beringia

This study traces the origin of modern wolves to a late Pleistocene expansion from Beringia, using ancient mitochondrial genomes and spatial-temporal modeling.
