This study uses fossil data and modeling to show that commercial whaling caused genetic diversity loss in bowhead whales, threatening their resilience to future climate change.

This study examines if tusk anomalies in narwhals affect foraging ecology using genetic sexing and stable isotope analysis, finding no systematic impact but noting differences in isotopic values for specimens with unusual dentition.

The paper analyzes biomolecular data from 39 mammoth individuals to understand Upper Palaeolithic human resource use, finding no sex-based foraging differences in Late Pleistocene megafauna.

This study uses paleogenomics and isotope analysis to examine 700 years of Inuvialuit beluga hunting, finding no significant genetic impact on contemporary beluga populations.

Ancient Mongolian aurochs genomes show sustained male introgression and a link to Hereford cattle, but no genetic signature in modern East Asian breeds.
