The paper investigates hatching failure in Alala, the Hawaiian crow, after a near-extinction event, identifying recessive lethal haplotypes as the main cause.

The paper reconstructs the demographic history of Rice's whale using whole-genome sequences and assesses its genomic health, finding long-term isolation and a recent population collapse increase extinction risk.

This study examines the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) across eleven animal species, finding that DFE co-varies with phylogeny and that mammals have more deleterious mutations than insects and birds.

The paper compares the distribution of fitness effects of new amino acid changing mutations between dogs and wolves to assess the impact of domestication on selective pressures.

This study estimates crossover and noncrossover recombination in olive baboons using whole-genome sequence data from pedigrees and compares results to LD-based estimates.

This paper presents a de novo genome assembly of the olive baboon using long-read and Hi-C data, significantly improving contig size and chromosome scaffolding compared to the previous reference genome.

The paper generates a high-quality reference genome for the vaquita and analyzes its demographic history, revealing long-term population stability and low genetic diversity.

The paper analyzes 100 high-coverage genomes from a captive baboon colony to catalog genetic variation, study ancestry, correct colony records, and investigate inbreeding effects.
