The effect of environmental enrichment on whole-brain gene expression in an imperiled fish

Christopher J. Kopack, Rachel L. Moran, E. Dale Broder…·Lisa M. Angeloni

This study examines how abiotic and biotic enrichment in hatchery environments affects whole-brain gene expression in Arkansas darters, finding that abiotic enrichment reduces phenotypic mismatch with wild populations.

Rapture-ready darters: choice of reference genome and genotyping method (whole-genome or sequence capture) influence population genomic inference in Etheostoma

Brendan N. Reid, Rachel L. Moran, Christopher J. Kopack, Sarah W. Fitzpatrick

The paper evaluates how reference genome choice and genotyping methods affect population genomic inference in darters, finding that Rapture outperforms whole-genome sequencing in capturing genetic structure and phylogeny.
