Genomic association with pathogen carriage in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Genetic composition can influence host susceptibility to, and transmission of, pathogens, with potential population‐level consequences. In bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), pneumonia epidemics caused by Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae have been associated with ...

Outcomes of Selective Removals for Control of Pneumonia in a Bighorn Sheep Metapopulation [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPneumonia is a pervasive, population‐limiting disease of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) with limited options for management. We conducted a selective removal experiment in two regions (north and south) of the Hells Canyon bighorn sheep metapopulation to

Development of a high-density sub-species-specific targeted SNP assay for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) [PDF]
PeerJDue to their abundance and relative ease of genotyping, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a commonly used molecular marker for contemporary population genetic and genomic studies. A high-density and cost-effective way to type SNP loci is Allegro
