The paper uses population genomics to identify three yellow-eyed penguin subspecies and links candidate genes to respiratory distress syndrome.

The paper introduces an agent-based model to study holobiont dynamics, showing that multiple microbial generations per host generation can buffer environmental changes and reduce fitness trade-offs between hosts and microbes.

The paper presents the genome assembly of the common myna, along with genomic features and demographic analysis, to study invasion genetics and population dynamics.

This paper describes methods to collect and extract DNA from unhatched bird eggs to study early embryo mortality and its genetic factors.

The paper uses genomic and phenotypic data to study the evolution of kakapo color polymorphism, finding genetic variants and evidence of balancing selection.

This paper uses whole-genome sequencing of kakapo to analyze genetic diversity and breeding values, showing how conservation management has maintained genetic diversity and providing tools for future recovery efforts.

The paper compares pedigree, genetic, and genomic methods for estimating relatedness in two endangered birds to improve pairing decisions in conservation breeding programs.
