Measuring American black bear genetic load in fixed structural variants and runs of homozygosity

Faezeh Azimi Chetabi, Aaron BA Shafer, Emily E Puckett, Joseph M Northrup

The paper assesses genetic load and structural variation in American black bear populations, finding elevated levels in an isolated population.

Population specific bottlenecks inflated differentiation measures of Louisiana black bear and negate subspecific status

Emily E. Puckett, Heather R. Clendenin

The paper evaluates genetic differentiation in Louisiana black bears, showing that historical bottlenecks and phylogeography, not local adaptation, drive genomic variation, and does not support subspecies status.

Convergent relaxation of molecular constraint in mammalian herbivores highlights the roles of liver and kidney functions in carnivory

Matthew D. Pollard, Wynn K. Meyer, Emily E. Puckett

The paper identifies six genes with relaxed evolutionary constraint in herbivorous mammals, linking dietary changes to reduced purifying selection in liver and kidney-related pathways.
