This study evaluates the impact of primers and reference databases on fish species detection in eDNA surveys of the Teles Pires River basin, finding that modified primers and local databases improve detection.

This study investigates the genetic structure and historical connectivity of Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii between the Orinoco and Amazon basins, finding genetic divergence and identifying the Rupununi Portal as a key historical connection point.

This study uses molecular data to revise the taxonomy of saki monkeys, identifying six species instead of the previously recognized two.

The paper analyzes the genomes of spider monkeys and northern muriquis to assess genetic diversity, load, and divergence, finding no alignment between genetic diversity and endangerment status, higher genetic load in wild populations, and divergence linked to environmental factors.

The paper introduces the Amphibian Genomics Consortium to address gaps in amphibian genomic resources and promote international collaboration for research and conservation.

The paper uses primate genetic data to predict human variant pathogenicity with a deep learning classifier trained on 4.3 million common missense variants.

This study presents whole-genome data from 233 primate species, revealing patterns of genetic diversity, mutation rates, and recurrent missense mutations across primate clades.

The paper investigates how landscape resistance, including waterfalls and ecological factors, influences the genetic structure of the Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtle in Brazilian Amazonia.

The paper compares four phylogenomic protocols using primate genomes, finding they perform equally well for uncontroversial nodes but show conflicting results for difficult ones, with discrepancies in clade age estimates.
