The paper uses microsatellite markers and multiplex PCR to analyze population structure in pukeko populations, finding genetic differentiation in the North Island but no population structure in the South Island, inconclusive about range expansion origins.

The paper identifies splicing variants in modern and archaic humans using functional assays and shows differences in purifying selection and adaptive introgression.

The paper examines population structure and gene flow in the allotetraploid frog Xenopus laevis using genomic data from southern Africa, finding no strong evidence of subgenome differences and linking population structure to environmental factors.
