The paper examines how demographic history affects genetic diversity and performance traits in insular and mainland lizard populations, finding elevated genetic load correlates with reduced bite force.

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 examines connectivity and genomic divergence in sympatric Mediterranean clingfishes, finding concordant connectivity patterns but heterogeneous demographic histories.

The paper identifies convergent evolution of a plant supergene through multiple genomic architectures, showing the same gene is duplicated and co-opted independently in different species.

This study investigates gene flow and hybridization in sailfin silversides, finding evidence of both ancient and recent introgression between riverine and lacustrine species in Lake Matano.

This study investigates genomic convergence in Mediterranean clingfishes adapting to intertidal gravel beaches, finding no large-scale convergence but identifying candidate regions associated with morphological traits.

This study shows how chromosomal restructuring and subgenome divergence drive adaptive diversification in Sinocyclocheilus cavefish through structural, regulatory, and epigenetic changes.

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 analyzes 1,375 Malawi cichlid genomes to show that sex-linked chromosomal inversions drive adaptive speciation through introgression and selection on neuro-sensory, physiological, and reproductive genes.

This study finds that genetic diversity in felids correlates with geographic range and population density, not census size, and threatened species have lower genetic diversity.

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 analyzes whole-genome sequencing data of Lake Malawi cichlids to reveal cryptic population structure and potential undescribed species diversity in Copadichromis mloto.

The paper uses a pangenomic approach to analyze Lake Malawi cichlid genomes, revealing extensive structural variation driven by transposable elements.

The paper identifies genetic variants in the UCP1 gene region associated with solar irradiance and precipitation rather than cold temperatures in savanna monkeys.

The paper examines methylome and transcriptome divergence in Lake Malawi cichlid fishes, finding links between epigenetic changes and ecological adaptation.

The paper summarizes methods and lessons from assembling 16 vertebrate genomes, highlights the importance of long-read sequencing, and introduces the Vertebrate Genomes Project to generate complete reference genomes for all vertebrate species.

Dsuite, a C++ tool, computes D and f4-ratio statistics across all trios of tens to hundreds of taxa directly from VCF, plus windowed fd/fdM and f-branch.

The paper identifies homozygous protein-truncating variants in vervet monkeys using whole genome sequencing and explores their potential impact on early infant mortality.

The paper generates a transcriptome resource and eQTL catalogue in vervet monkeys, revealing sex and age-related expression patterns and key regulatory loci.
