This study investigates inbreeding depression in wild barn owls using whole-genome sequences, showing its presence in growth and adult traits, and identifying genomic regions with significant effects.

This study benchmarks imputation accuracy for low-coverage whole-genome sequencing data with and without a reference panel, showing that large datasets can achieve sufficient accuracy without one.

The paper uses long-term genomic data from Swiss barn owls to show that selection on few loci drives rapid phenotypic evolution in response to environmental change.

This study combines family and population data to analyze recombination patterns in the barn owl, revealing sex-specific and chromosomal differences in crossover placement and recombination rates.

This study compares methods for quantifying inbreeding depression in structured populations using simulated and empirical data, finding that weighted gamete correlation and specific GRM matrices improve estimation.

The paper evaluates how reduced genomic representation affects ROH-based inbreeding estimates and shows that RZooRoH outperforms PLINK with smaller genomic fractions.
