Habitat discontinuity and fidelity to migratory routes shape narwhal genetic structure and diversity

Marié Louis, Mikkel Skovrind, Bárbara Parreira, Alba Rey‐Iglesia, Deborah Vicari, Ana P. B. Costa, Steven H. Ferguson, Eva Garde, Mads Peter Heide‐Jørgensen, Kit Maureen Kovacs, Christian Lydersen, Lianne Postma, Shyam Gopalakrishnan, Eline D. Lorenzen

This study uses genomic data from narwhals to show that habitat discontinuities and migration fidelity shape population structure, with low genetic diversity and inbreeding in small populations.

Four centuries of commercial whaling eroded 11,000 years of population stability in bowhead whales

Michael V. Westbury, Stuart C. Brown, Andrea A. Cabrera, Hernán E. Morales, Bárbara Parreira, Jilong Ma, Moisès Coll Macià, Alba Rey‐Iglesia, Arthur S. Dyke, Camilla Hjorth Scharff‐Olsen, Michael B. Scott, Øystein Wiig, Lutz Bachmann, Kit Maureen Kovacs, Christian Lydersen, , Eline D. Lorenzen

This study uses fossil data and modeling to show that commercial whaling caused genetic diversity loss in bowhead whales, threatening their resilience to future climate change.

Loss of FANCM impairs primordial germ cell differentiation in vitro

Amy V. Kaucher, Hannah R. Schorle, Bárbara Parreira, Ruiqi Sun, Kathleen R. Stewart-Morgan, Anja Bisgaard Pinborg, Eva R. Hoffmann, Jason Alexander Halliwell

This study shows that FANCM loss in a mouse in vitro primordial germ cell model reduces PGCLC formation, indicating its critical role in early germline development.

Complex genomic ancestry in southern regions and drivers of continental-level genetic diversity in the wolves of Asia

Lauren Mae Hennelly, Bárbara Parreira, Ash Noble, Camilla Hjorth Scharff‐Olsen, M. Çisel Kemahlı Aytekin, Çağan H. Şekercioğlu, Pavel Andreevich Kosintsev, Ladislav Paule, Pavel Hulva, Hans K. Stenøien, Bilal Habib, Hira Fatima, Ghulam Sarwar, Samara P El-Haddad, A. F. Youssef, , Shyam Gopalakrishnan

The paper uses whole genomes of wolves across Eurasia to study their genetic diversity and evolutionary history, finding major lineage barriers and admixture events shaping their genetic structure.
