This paper develops a genomic framework to assess genetic profiles of captive saker falcons, identifying inbreeding, hybridization, and relatedness to improve ex-situ conservation strategies.

The paper addresses the paradox of stable population sizes in reef species despite the contraction-expansion model by proposing a synthetic model of modern reef development and analyzing genetic simulations and molecular evolution rates.

The paper proposes and validates a Last Glacial Maximum calibration method for population genetic studies of reef species, showing its utility in linking population dynamics to environmental factors like sea level and reef development.

This study uses mtDNA sequences to show that whaling and climate changes shaped the population history of bowhead whales, with hunting reducing effective population size to 38% of its original level.
