The paper sequenced Mediterranean fin whale genomes to assess genetic structure and conservation status, finding moderate diversity but low connectivity with North Atlantic populations.

The paper examines genomic diversity and adaptation in Apennine brown bears, finding unique genetic signatures linked to reduced aggressiveness, possibly due to human-induced selection.

The paper develops a cost-effective SNP panel for geographic assignment of confiscated Mediterranean tortoises using ddRAD-seq, achieving high accuracy at low cost.
