Population genetic assessment of marine megafauna using seawater environmental DNA: a case study of whale sharks from the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area.

Abinaya Meenakshisundaram, Mark Gregory Meekan, Simon Jarman…·Luke Thomas

This paper develops a genetic toolkit using seawater environmental DNA to study whale shark populations, showing that microhaplotype markers can reliably genotype individuals and capture population-level genetic diversity.

Mechanisms of ecological divergence with gene flow in a reef-building coral on an isolated atoll in Western Australia

Luke Thomas, J.N. Underwood, Noah H. Rose…·James Gilmour

The paper investigates mechanisms of ecological divergence with gene flow in corals by combining genomic, transcriptomic, and symbiont analyses to understand adaptation to environmental stress.
