This paper introduces genvector analysis to infer biogeographic drivers of genetic turnover by decomposing genetic dissimilarities into eigenvectors and testing null models.

The paper uses ancient DNA analysis to confirm the identity and geographic origin of the holotype of Ctenomys brasiliensis, resolving a century-old debate.

This study investigates the genetic basis of spiny hair evolution in rodents, finding that a specific Edar mutation associated with human hair variation is not linked to spiny hair in rodents.
