This study investigates speciation in boobies through genomic analysis, finding introgression, divergence patterns, and a neo-sex chromosome linked to coloration diversity.

This paper uses whole-genome sequencing of kakapo to analyze genetic diversity and breeding values, showing how conservation management has maintained genetic diversity and providing tools for future recovery efforts.

This study compares six genome-based relatedness estimators across five captive species to identify the most reliable for conservation management.

The paper uses genomic data to confirm no introgression from a non-threatened congener into a critically endangered bird despite past hybridisation.

The paper compares pedigree, genetic, and genomic methods for estimating relatedness in two endangered birds to improve pairing decisions in conservation breeding programs.
