The paper identifies genomic determinants of migratory behavior in leatherback turtles, finding a putative inversion linked to navigation and genes associated with reproductive timing and neurodevelopment.

This study shows that behavioral plasticity in green turtles cannot counteract climate warming's impact on sex ratios and hatchling survival, leading to potential feminization and population decline.

The Vertebrate Genomes Project Phase I provides high-quality reference genomes for 816 species, enabling evolutionary and conservation insights across vertebrates.

The paper assesses climate adaptation in Canada lynx populations at their southern trailing edge using genomic data, identifying adaptive loci and highlighting conservation risks.

The paper assesses genomic health in leatherback turtles, finding small-stable populations have lower diversity and higher inbreeding but show genetic resilience, suggesting potential recovery if threats are mitigated.

This study examines local adaptation in marine snails to temperature regimes, finding that low latitude populations exhibit faster growth and early reproduction, while high latitude populations grow slower but reach larger sizes later.

The paper identifies DNA methylation markers in loggerhead turtles to show that temperature-based sex ratio models overestimate female production by up to 60.2%.

This study compares reproductive traits across native and invasive populations of a marine snail, revealing 'fast' and 'slow' reproductive strategies linked to climate vulnerability.

The paper presents haplotype-resolved genomes for five sea turtle species, revealing conserved synteny and divergence hotspots linked to immune and sensory genes, and population expansion during the Pleistocene.

The paper analyzes genomes of leatherback and green turtles to identify gene family expansions and demographic differences that may influence their ecological adaptations and conservation status.

The paper benchmarks DNA preservation methods for long-read and long-range sequencing across vertebrates, finding that optimal methods vary by taxa, tissue, and application.

This paper introduces a targeted HTS enrichment platform for marine turtles, demonstrating its ability to genotype over 1,000 samples and identify SNPs for conservation genetics.
