Bottlenecked but Booming: Strong Inbreeding in a Highly Invasive Freshwater Mussel

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The ‘genetic paradox of invasions’ refers to successful invasive populations originating from low founder numbers. Theory predicts that such invaders should exhibit reduced genetic diversity and increased inbreeding, which should restrict their evolutionary potential and often lead to inbreeding depression.

What conservation insights can we drag from genome-wide SNPs data in Italian small goat breeds?

Italian Journal of Animal Science
Italy is home to several indigenous goat breeds with great economic and cultural implications, but their genetic makeup remains largely unexplored.

Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post‐mining landscapes

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1899-1911, October 2026.
Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...

Genetic structure, spectral characteristics and evolutionary history of butterflies in the European Polyommatus eros species group (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, October‐December 2026.
The genetic results, microbial (Wolbachia) screening and wing spectral characteristics suggested a close relationship between European taxa of the Polyommatus eros species group. Two lineages appear to be undergoing accelerated differentiation, in particular the endangered taxon menelaos, which is differentiated in both genetic and wing spectral ...

Repeated genetic adaptation under demographic limits in kiwifruit

The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 1, October 2026.
SUMMARY Population genetic theory predicts that species with narrow geographic distributions experience stronger genetic drift, higher inbreeding, and greater mutational burden than their widespread relatives, yet how demographic history shapes the genomic basis of adaptation remains poorly understood.

The role of methylation and structural variants in shaping the recombination landscape of barley

The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 1, October 2026.
SUMMARY Meiotic recombination is not only a key mechanism for sexual adaptation in eukaryotes but crucial for the accumulation of beneficial alleles in breeding populations. The effective manipulation of recombination requires, however, a better understanding of the mechanisms regulating the rate and distribution of recombination events in genomes ...
