The Genomics Revolution in Nonmodel Species: Predictions vs. Reality for Salmonids. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT The increasing feasibility of whole‐genome sequencing has been highly anticipated, promising to transform our understanding of the biology of nonmodel species. Notably, dramatic cost reductions beginning around 2007 with the advent of high‐throughput sequencing inspired publications heralding the ‘genomics revolution’, with predictions about ...

Temporal Variability in Effective Size ( N ̂ e ) Identifies Potential Sources of Discrepancies Between Mark Recapture and Close Kin Mark Recapture Estimates of Population Abundance. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Although efforts to estimate effective population size, census size and their ratio in wild populations are expanding, few empirical studies investigate interannual changes in these parameters. Hence, we do not know how repeatable or representative many estimates may be. Answering this question requires studies of long‐term population dynamics.

Must epidemiologically impactful vector control interventions disrupt mosquito population structure? A case study of a cluster-randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Large epidemiological impacts resulting from disease vector control interventions are typically associated with significant disruption of vector populations. While vector density is a frequently measured response, impacts on demography and connectivity are suspected but rarely quantified.

Effective Population Size Estimation in Large Marine Populations: Considering Current Challenges and Opportunities When Simulating Large Data Sets With High-Density Genomic Information. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Next‐generation‐sequencing has broadened perspectives regarding the estimation of the effective population size (Ne) by providing high‐density genomic information. These technologies have expanded data collection and analytical tools in population genetics, increasing understanding of populations with high abundance, such as marine species ...

Estimation of Parental Abundance Using Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling With Data Augmentation [PDF]
Ecol EvolPedigree accumulation estimators leverage the fact that each offspring in a cohort is genotypically “marked” by its parents and represent a recent and promising toolset for estimating population dynamics. We developed a hierarchical Bayesian pedigree accumulation estimator and compared it to previously evaluated non‐parametric approaches.

Genomic Insights Into the Origin, Decline and Recovery of the Once Critically Endangered Iberian Lynx. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT The Iberian lynx was at the brink of extinction by the year 2000 but has since then, and thanks to intensive conservation measures, gone through a remarkable recovery, providing a much‐welcomed and encouraging conservation success story.

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 342-369, March 2026.ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Pedigrees can provide important data for abundance estimation by providing a means to infer the presence of individuals that might otherwise not be detected. Such information may be particularly important for endangered species, where the addition or removal of just a few individuals can make the difference between population growth and ...
