This study reviews how genomic data are used to identify evolutionary significant units (ESUs) and finds inconsistencies in definitions and methods, with 68% of studies suggesting more ESUs.

The paper assesses genetic diversity, inbreeding, and genetic load in caribou populations with varying demographic histories, finding high genetic diversity and load without purging due to rapid population declines.

The paper quantifies runs of homozygosity in caribou populations to assess inbreeding effects and identifies genomic regions maintaining heterozygosity despite inbreeding.
