Genomic Signatures in Maned Three-Toed Sloths From Ancient to Recent Environmental Changes in Brazil's Threatened Atlantic Forest. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Environmental and climatic changes have shaped the evolutionary trajectories of natural populations, leaving genomic signatures that reflect how species respond to these shifts and their impacts on genetic health. While these insights are essential for unravelling evolutionary histories and informing conservation strategies, studies on ...
