The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of the sea stickleback and reveals chromosomal fusions and fissions that reshape understanding of karyotype evolution in sticklebacks.

This study identifies genomic signatures of population decline in the Ponza grayling butterfly using comparative genomics and shows that autozygosity and realized genetic load are better indicators of decline than heterozygosity.

The paper sequenced Mediterranean fin whale genomes to assess genetic structure and conservation status, finding moderate diversity but low connectivity with North Atlantic populations.

The paper examines the relationship between genomic variation and genetic load in small island populations, finding that low genetic diversity does not always correlate with high genetic load.

The paper examines genomic diversity and adaptation in Apennine brown bears, finding unique genetic signatures linked to reduced aggressiveness, possibly due to human-induced selection.

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to analyze genetic differentiation and plasticity in sympatric morphs of Arctic charr across multiple lakes, revealing a polygenic basis and varying levels of reproductive isolation.

The paper describes the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) pilot project, which tests a decentralized model for producing high-quality reference genomes across 98 European species.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the ant Lasius platythorax using long-read sequencing and Hi-C, providing insights into the genomic basis of trait differentiation in ant species.

The paper presents a pangenome for the barn swallow and identifies genes under selection linked to synanthropy and domestication traits.

The paper presents a high-resolution chromosome-assigned genome of the Komodo dragon, identifying adaptations in cardiovascular, muscular, and chemosensory systems through comparative genomics.
