A chromosome-level genome of the franciscana dolphin, Pontoporia blainvillei

The paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the franciscana dolphin, enabling phylogenetic and conservation studies.

Coexisting with humans: genomic and behavioural consequences in a small and isolated bear population

The paper examines genomic diversity and adaptation in Apennine brown bears, finding unique genetic signatures linked to reduced aggressiveness, possibly due to human-induced selection.

Genetic structure in the wood mouse and the bank vole: contrasting patterns in a human-modified and highly fragmented landscape

The paper examines genetic structure in two sympatric rodent species in a fragmented landscape, finding contrasting effects of habitat features on gene flow between species.

New genetic insights about hybridization and population structure of hawksbill and loggerhead turtles from Brazil

The paper investigates hybridization and population structure of hawksbill and loggerhead turtles in Brazil using multilocus haplotypes, finding evidence of F2 hybrids and male-mediated gene flow.

Manatee genomics supports a special conservation area in the Guianas coastline under the influence of the Amazon River plume

The paper uses genomic data to show that Amazonian manatees have colonized the Guianas coastline and hybridized with West Indian manatees, supporting the need for a special conservation area.
