Diversity Under Pressure: Long‐Term Genetic Decline in California's Central Valley Chinook Salmon ESA Listed Runs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Chinook salmon in the Central Valley of California have notable intraspecific diversity because it is the only place where four distinct migration timings (Winter, Spring, Fall, Late‐fall) co‐occur. The Winter run is listed as Endangered and the Spring run is listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act. To quantify temporal changes in genetic

Unraveling the Evolutionary History of Snow Sheep (Ovis nivicola): Genome‐Wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Analysis Reveals Genetic Diversity and Clarifies Taxonomy

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study chronicles all described subspecies of snow sheep (Ovis nivicola) since 1829, reviewing taxonomic assessments by key systematists. Using genome‐wide SNP genotyping on 337 samples from 15 populations, we validate and refine subspecies classifications, revealing eight genetic clusters and proposing a new subspecies (O. n. ernsti).

Limited Dispersal and Fragmentation‐Induced Genomic Erosion in Southern Greater Gliders (Petauroides volans)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using genome‐wide SNPs, we characterised population genomic patterns in southern greater gliders from continuous and isolated forests in New South Wales, Australia. Genomic diversity was significantly lower in the isolated population, which exhibited elevated relatedness and a low effective population size, while analyses of fine‐scale spatial genetic ...

Taxonomic reassessment of Tolpis (Asteraceae) in the Azores and Madeira archipelagos with description of new species

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Tolpis (Asteraceae) is a recently diversified genus of flowering plants, centered in the Macaronesian region, where it exhibits striking morphological variation and high levels of endemism. In this study, we focus on the archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores (Portugal).

Ecology of reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Dinosaur National Monument La Ecología de Borrego Cimarron de las Montañas Rocosas Reintroducido en el Monumento Nacional de Dinosaurio

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.
We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Genetic and phenotypic variation in wood tiger moths from the Caucasus: insights into male warning color variation

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1706-1718, August 2026.
Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (

BIMr2: Inference of migration rates and their drivers from multilocus genotypes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2330-2342, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding how environmental factors drive recent migration is crucial for predicting species' responses to habitat change and for informing conservation strategies. There is one method available (BIMr) aimed at identifying the environmental factors associated with migration patterns using genetic data.

Assessing differences among elasmobranch nurseries to aid conservation based on a genomics framework

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Elasmobranch nurseries often differ in environmental conditions, demographics, and use patterns. These differences affect the distribution of genetic variation among nurseries. However, conservation and management strategies often fail to account for such differences because they are difficult to characterize.

Genetic Implications of Plant Sourcing Strategies for Salt Marsh Restoration

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecosystem restoration aims to recreate the ecological structure, processes, and function of a reference native ecosystem. The structure and composition of restored ecosystems often differ from natural ecosystems, at least in part due to human decisions about which ecosystem characteristics and functions to prioritize.
