Wolves in black: multiple introgressions and natural selection may explain melanism in Italian wolves

Giulia Fabbri, Daniele Battilani, Federica Mattucci, Marco Galaverni, Astrid Vik Strønen, Marco Musiani, Raquel Godinho, Diana Lobo, Massimo Scandura, Ettore Randi, Elena Fabbri, Romolo Caniglia

The paper investigates the genomic basis of melanism in Italian wolves, finding evidence of multiple introgression events and balancing selection involving the KB allele from domestic dogs.

The dispersal of domestic cats from Northern Africa and their introduction to Europe over the last two millennia

M. De Martino, Bea De Cupere, Valentina Rovelli, Patrizia Serventi, Marica Baldoni, Tullia Di Corcia, Sheila Geiger, Francesca Alhaique, Paulo C. Alves, Hijlke Buitenhuis, Emanuela Ceccaroni, Eugenio Cerilli, Jacopo De Grossi-Mazzorin, Cleia Detry, Marion Dowd, , Claudio Ottoni

This study uses ancient and modern cat genomes to show domestic cats reached Europe within the last 2,000 years from North Africa, not with Neolithic farmers, and identifies an earlier wildcat introduction to Sardinia.
