The paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the Brazilian merganser, revealing genomic features and population history insights.

The paper demonstrates long-read sequencing and genome assembly of ethanol-preserved samples, including challenging organisms like the maned sloth, achieving a 3.1 Gb assembly.

The paper investigates hybridization and population structure of hawksbill and loggerhead turtles in Brazil using multilocus haplotypes, finding evidence of F2 hybrids and male-mediated gene flow.

The paper uses genomic data to show that Amazonian manatees have colonized the Guianas coastline and hybridized with West Indian manatees, supporting the need for a special conservation area.
