The complete mitochondrial genome of Aquila nipalensis and its phylogenetic position

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Mitochondrial genome sequences are valuable resources for systematics and conservation biology studies. In this paper, we present the complete mitogenome of Aquila nipalensis which was 18,450 bp in length.

Landscape genetics of Schistocephalus solidus parasites in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from Alaska. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The nature of gene flow in parasites with complex life cycles is poorly understood, particularly when intermediate and definitive hosts have contrasting movement potential.

Importance of using genetic data to inform conservation captive breeding: A tale of two species of threatened macaws (Ara spp.)

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Unmanaged captive populations of threatened species often harbor hidden genetic risks, so using genomic tools, we audited a large private macaw collection and uncovered extensive hybridization and high inbreeding. Our findings provide an actionable framework for how routine genetic screening can be used to mitigate these risks, manage captive breeding ...

Integrating coalescent species delimitation with analysis of host specificity reveals extensive cryptic diversity despite minimal mitochondrial divergence in the malaria parasite genus Leucocytozoon

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Coalescent methods that use multi-locus sequence data are powerful tools for identifying putatively reproductively isolated lineages, though this approach has rarely been used for the study of microbial groups that are likely to harbor many ...

Bloodmeal analysis reveals avian Plasmodium infections and broad host preferences of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) vectors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Changing environmental conditions and human encroachment on natural habitats bring human populations closer to novel sources of parasites, which might then develop into new emerging diseases. Diseases transmitted by host generalist vectors are of special

Phylogenomics of the American robin (Turdus migratorius) reveals hidden lineages and introgression

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Phylogenomic analyses of Turdus migratorius uncover four previously unrecognized lineages, including a divergent Baja California lineage (T. m. confinis). The results reveal complex evolutionary relationships that depart from simple models of continuous divergence, supported by evidence of introgression between the Mexican lineage and its previously ...

Full mitochondrial genome sequences of two endemic Philippine hornbill species (Aves: Bucerotidae) provide evidence for pervasive mitochondrial DNA recombination

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2011
Background Although nowaday it is broadly accepted that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may undergo recombination, the frequency of such recombination remains controversial.

Livestock Multi‐Omics Integration: A Systematic Framework From Statistical Association to Causal Interpretation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 50, 7 September 2026.
A three‐tier livestock multi‐omics framework resolves four typical analytical pitfalls. Moving from statistical association through machine learning preprocessing to triple‐modal causal inference, it converts omics results into genomic selection and gene editing strategies to achieve One Health, underpinned by multi‐omics data, multimodal sequencing ...

A Brief Review of Non-Avian Reptile Environmental DNA (eDNA), with a Case Study of Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta) eDNA Under Field Conditions

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an increasingly used non-invasive molecular tool for detecting species presence and monitoring populations. In this article, we review the current state of non-avian reptile eDNA work in aquatic systems, and present a field ...

Molecular detection and genetic diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites in Iran. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:The mobility of birds across or between continents exposes them to numerous vectors that have the potential to transmit pathogens and spread them into new regions. A combination of rich species diversity of birds along with the small amount of
