This study uses climate and genetic data to show that climate change shaped leopard population dynamics, leading to extinction in Europe and structuring populations in Asia and Africa.

The paper models Homo sapiens evolution as a Pan-African metapopulation, showing how climate and connectivity shaped genetic and morphological diversity over 200,000 years.

This study uses genetic analysis of ancient seal samples to show that southern elephant seals recolonized the Southern Ocean from multiple glacial refugia during postglacial periods.

The paper develops a species-specific SNP panel for non-invasive leopard genotyping, validated for global range and low DNA content samples.

Consensify generates pseudohaploid genome sequences from palaeogenomic datasets with reduced error rates, improving phylogenetic and population clustering analyses.

The paper develops a SNP panel for Eurasian lynx using cross-species hybridization capture and validates it for population genetics.

This study uses historical genomes to show admixture before and after wisent extinction, challenging previous subspecies classifications.
