DEADMON: A protocol for long-term monitoring of deadwood-associated species

The paper develops and tests a DNA-based monitoring protocol for deadwood-associated species in boreal forests, finding that DNA methods detect different species than morphological methods.

The road to nowhere: geolocation-by-genotype traces large-scale yellow-browed warbler vagrancy to central Siberia

This paper uses genetic data to determine the origin of vagrant yellow-browed warblers in Europe, finding they originate from central Siberia, suggesting mass misorientation.

Population structure of the endangered Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans) revealed by genomic and mitochondrial data

The paper uses genomic and mitochondrial data to analyze the population structure of the Siberian flying squirrel, finding low genetic diversity and strong differentiation in eastern populations.

Reference genome for the Northern bat (Eptesicus nilssonii), a most northern bat species

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the northern bat (Eptesicus nilssonii) to aid conservation and evolutionary genomic studies.

The effect of experimental lead pollution on DNA methylation in a wild bird population

The paper examines how lead pollution affects DNA methylation in wild great tits, finding changes in methylation of development-related genes but inconsistent statistical results.

Exploring the unmapped DNA and RNA reads in a songbird genome

The paper explores unmapped DNA and RNA reads from a songbird genome, generating de novo assemblies to identify sequences absent in the reference genome and potential pathogens.
