Mechanisms underlying the loss of migratory behaviour in a long-lived bird

P. Andrade, A. M. A. Franco, M. Acacio, S. Afonso, C. I. Marques, F. Moreira, M. Carneiro, I. Catry

The paper investigates the mechanisms behind the loss of migratory behavior in Iberian white storks, finding that developmental plasticity, not genetic change or phenotypic flexibility, explains the shift towards residency.

Evidence of post-domestication hybridization and adaptive introgression in Western European grapevine varieties

S. Freitas, M. A. Gazda, M. Rebelo, A. J. Munoz-Pajares, C. M. Vila-Vicosa, A. Munoz-Merida, L. M. Goncalves, D. Azevedo-Silva, S. Afonso, I. Castro, P. H. Castro, M. Sottomayor, A. Beja-Pereira, J. Tereso, N. Ferrand, , H. Azevedo

This study uses whole genome resequencing to show post-domestication hybridization and adaptive introgression in Western European grapevine varieties, with strong signals in Iberian varieties.

Genetic Basis Of De Novo Appearance Of Carotenoid Ornamentation In Bare-Parts Of Canaries

M. A. Gazda, M. B. Toomey, P. M. Araujo, R. J. Lopes, S. Afonso, C. A. Myers, K. Serres, P. D. Kiser, G. Hill, J. C. Corbo, M. Carneiro

The paper identifies a mutation in BCO2 gene causing bright red bare-part coloration in urucum canaries by disrupting carotenoid cleavage.

Regulatory changes in pterin and carotenoid genes underlie balanced color polymorphisms in the wall lizard

P. Andrade, C. Pinho, G. Perez i de Lanuza, S. Afonso, J. Brejcha, C.-J. Rubin, O. Wallerman, P. Pereira, S. J. Sabatino, A. Bellati, D. Pellitteri-Rosa, Z. Bosakova, M. A. Carretero, N. Feiner, P. Marsik, , M. Carneiro

The paper identifies regulatory changes in pterin and carotenoid genes that underlie color polymorphisms in wall lizards, showing that these loci have pleiotropic effects on physiology.

Consequences of breed formation on patterns of genomic diversity and differentiation: the case of highly diverse peripheral Iberian cattle

R. R. da Fonseca, I. Urena, S. Afonso, A. E. Pires, E. Jorsboe, L. Chikhi, C. Ginja

The paper sequenced genomes of Iberian cattle breeds to study genomic diversity and differentiation, finding high diversity and significant admixture from African cattle.
