Using genomics to measure the extent and consequences of inbreeding

Inbreeding can have negative effects on individuals, a phenomenon called inbreeding depression. It can occur as a result of mating between close relatives such as siblings and cousins but also as a result of mating between more distant relatives. The latter is often observed in populations with few individuals.

Assessing Future Maladaptation Risk in the Keystone Species Populus tremuloides

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the adaptive potential of widespread trees is critical for predicting species resilience under climate change and informing their conservation strategies. We assessed the genomic offset in Populus tremuloides Michx. (aspen) using 10,937 genotyping‐by‐sequencing derived, high‐quality SNPs from 891 individuals sampled across the ...

Genetic Diversity and Impacts of Stocking on Cyprinus carpio Populations in Türkiye: Insights From Mitochondrial, Nuclear, and Microsatellite Markers

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 918-932, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding genetic diversity and population structure is essential for the sustainable management of widely stocked freshwater species such as common carp (Cyprinus carpio). In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genetic assessment of C.

Fine‐scale genetic structure in co‐operatively breeding Palmchats (Dulus dominicus) suggests mixed kinship in compound nests

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1378-1390, October 2026.
Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3705-3726, October 2026.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.
