Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We adopted ddRAD‐seq and chloroplast genome sequencing to explore the genetic characteristics of the danxia‐endemic species Viola hybanthoides. This species exhibits extremely low within‐population genetic diversity and obvious genetic differentiation, which is mainly driven by habitat fragmentation, restricted gene flow and Quaternary climatic changes.

Is Blood Thicker Than Water? The Influence of Kin Within a Bull Shark Social Network
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This study investigates how kinship (“kinfluence”) shapes social structure in an aggregation of adult bull sharks in Fiji by integrating genomic relatedness, pedigree reconstruction, and detailed behavioral data. It reveals that while genetic relatedness has a small but significant influence on social behavior, especially among males, kin‐category ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.There is debate over whether isolated populations of “pygmy” Australian freshwater crocodiles are a unique species. This is a conservation concern as these populations face unique challenges. We found some population differences which support these populations as being ecologically unique and valuable for targeted conservation.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We introduce efforts to develop a potentially thiamine deficiency complex (TDC) tolerant Atlantic salmon broodstock via selective breeding, as well as control broodstock with higher genetic diversity (and no selection). Additionally, we develop the genetic monitoring tools (novel genetic marker panel, parentage‐based tagging) to monitor the demographic

Twenty‐Year Progress in Landscape Genetics of Tetrapods
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Geographic distribution of tetrapod landscape genetics between 2003 and 2025. ABSTRACT Landscape genetics, an interdisciplinary field integrating population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial analytical techniques, has progressed significantly over two decades, yet systematic reviews of its application to tetrapods remain limited. Here, we review

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Phylogeographic pseudo‐concordance among species—coincident spatial structuring coupled with differing levels of intraspecific differentiation—has rarely been documented in heterogeneous regions. We report a clear case in two mountain butterfly species and show how the high density of spatial sampling and the integration of phenotypic and genomic ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Rocky desertification exerts significant selective pressures on honeybee morphology. Honeybees undergo adaptive evolution in 19 genes such as glycogen biosynthesis. Genes like GBE promote organismal survival under desertification. ABSTRACT Unlike traditional desertification, rocky desertification is a distinct form of land degradation characterized by ...
