Habituation drives elevated antimicrobial resistance, functional, and compositional shifts in the black bear gut microbiome

This study shows that habituation in black bears alters their gut microbiome composition and function, leading to increased antimicrobial resistance and other health-related changes.

Humans could become the greatest driver of biosphere net gain in Earth history, but we are currently the second fastest driver of biosphere loss

The paper compares human impact on the biosphere to historical disruptors, finding humans are the second fastest driver of biosphere loss but uniquely capable of mitigating it.

Persistent, Multi-Species Outbreaks and Long-Range Transmissions of a Measles-Like Virus

The paper shows CDV persists in Arctic foxes for over a decade and spreads across species and regions, connecting North America to Eurasia.

President Roosevelt's lions reveal a century of population fragmentation in Africa's largest carnivore

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing of historical and recent lion populations to show population fragmentation and genetic diversity loss in East Africa over the past century.

Chromosome-level draft assemblies of the snow leopard, African leopard, and tiger (Panthera uncia, Panthera pardus pardus, and Panthera tigris)

The paper presents chromosome-level genome assemblies for the snow leopard, African leopard, and tiger to support evolutionary and conservation research.

Recent evolutionary history of tigers highlights contrasting roles of genetic drift and selection

This study analyzes tiger genomes to understand their evolutionary history, finding genetic differentiation, recent divergence, and selection pressures in different subspecies.

Long live the king: chromosome-level assembly of the lion (Panthera leo) using linked-read, Hi-C, and long read data

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the African lion using linked-read, Hi-C, and long-read data, revealing population history insights.

Empowering conservation practice with efficient and economical genotyping from poor quality samples

This paper develops a cost-effective genotyping method using low-quality DNA samples for conservation applications, demonstrating its utility in identifying tigers and tracking conch trade.
