This study estimates mutation and recombination rates in polar bears using whole-genome sequencing, finding species-specific values that improve demographic inference for conservation.

The paper assesses genetic load and structural variation in American black bear populations, finding elevated levels in an isolated population.

This study examines how environmental and temporal factors affect antler size and record white-tailed deer distribution in Ontario using hunter data and CAR models.

The paper estimates heritability of migration traits in mule deer using GPS and genomic data, finding low heritability for migration timing, distance, and duration but high heritability for movement rate.

This study develops epigenetic clocks for three large mammals using DNA methylation data to estimate age with high accuracy and robustness.

This study identifies genomic regions associated with migratory direction in a cervid population, highlighting genes involved in lipid formation and epigenetic modifications.

The paper assesses genomic variation and PRNP gene diversity in white-tailed deer to infer susceptibility to chronic wasting disease and demographic history.

The paper estimates heritability of body and antler traits in free-ranging white-tailed deer using genomic-relatedness matrices and finds moderate heritability for body traits but low and variable heritability for antler traits.
