Tracing the Neanderthal-Modern Human hybrid zone using paleogenomic data

The paper uses paleogenomic data and simulations to identify conditions under which introgression patterns can trace Neanderthal-modern human hybrid zones.

Genetic basis of reproductive isolation in Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana Parry): insights from hybridization and adaptation

The paper identifies candidate loci for reproductive isolation in Torrey pine populations using GWAS and ddRADseq, finding SNPs associated with growth and fitness that may contribute to reproductive barriers.

Temporal variation in introgressed segments' length statistics sheds light on past admixture pulses

The paper uses simulations and paleogenomic data to infer past admixture events by analyzing temporal variation in introgressed segment length statistics.

Reduced representation sequencing to understand the evolutionary history of Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana Parry) with implications for rare species conservation

This study uses reduced representation sequencing to analyze the evolutionary processes in Torrey pine, finding low genetic diversity and evidence of divergent selection, suggesting potential trade-offs for genetic rescue strategies.

Testing for evolutionary change in restoration: a genomic comparison between ex situ, native and commercial seed sources of Helianthus maximiliani

This study compares genomic variation across different seed sources for Helianthus maximiliani to assess genetic changes in restoration materials.

Environmental and geographic data optimize ex situ collections and the preservation of adaptive evolutionary potential

The paper evaluates how geographic and environmental data can improve ex situ conservation by capturing more genetic diversity and differentiation, particularly for adaptive loci.
