This study investigates parthenogenesis mechanisms in Megacrania batesii, finding variation in reproductive strategies that affect genetic diversity and lineage persistence.

This study examines how lungworm infection affects miRNA and mRNA expression in cane toads, finding upregulated miRNAs linked to immune response pathways and minimal mRNA changes.

The paper investigates whether DNA methylation changes mediate developmental plasticity in cane toad tadpoles exposed to cannibal or alarm cues, finding distinct methylation patterns for each cue type.

The paper presents the genome assembly of the common myna, along with genomic features and demographic analysis, to study invasion genetics and population dynamics.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial genomes of cane toads across their invasion trajectory, revealing genetic bottlenecks and previously underestimated diversity in introduced populations.

This paper assembles the first reference genome for Rhabdias pseudosphaerocephala and uses it to investigate genetic diversity and evolutionary placement within the Rhabdiasidae family.

The paper presents two genome assemblies for the European starling, using long-read transcript data and homology-based annotation to improve assembly quality and provide a reference for population genetics.

The paper compares brain transcriptomes of invasive cane toads from different populations to identify gene expression differences linked to dispersal behaviour during range expansion.

The paper examines the relationship between host genotype, epigenotype, and gut bacterial communities in invasive cane toads, finding a stronger link between epigenetic and microbial distances in genetically similar individuals.

The paper shows that filtering parameter choices in reduced representation sequencing analyses impact population structure detection, depending on the inherent genetic differentiation of the dataset.
