Population genetic assessment of marine megafauna using seawater environmental DNA: a case study of whale sharks from the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area.

Abinaya Meenakshisundaram, Mark Gregory Meekan, Simon Jarman…·Luke Thomas

This paper develops a genetic toolkit using seawater environmental DNA to study whale shark populations, showing that microhaplotype markers can reliably genotype individuals and capture population-level genetic diversity.

A comparative study of two grasswren species reveals strong genetic divergence between a peninsula and mainland population

Aline Gibson Vega, Michelle L. Hall, Amanda R. Ridley…·W. Jason Kennington

The paper compares genetic divergence between two grasswren species, finding strong genetic isolation in a peninsula population despite female dispersal and suggesting a geographic barrier limits gene flow.
