Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Genomic consequences of intensive inbreeding in miniature inbred pigs

BMC Genomics
Background Inbreeding, a central theme in evolutionary and conservation biology, is a crucial practice in breeding to stabilize and enhance the specific traits or to establish inbred lines.

Improved computation of genomic and pedigree inbreeding and relationships accounting for the X chromosome

Journal of Dairy Science
: Breeders for many decades used pedigrees to limit increases in inbreeding, but genomic measures of relationship and inbreeding provide more precise control.

The Great Dividing Range as a driver of genetic divergence in a low‐dispersing dragonfly

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Population genomic analyses revealed low genetic differentiation and no discrete population structure across the Great Dividing Range, indicating widespread gene flow in Synthemis eustalacta. Genetic divergence was associated with environmental gradients, elevation and landscape resistance rather than geographic distance, supporting isolation by ...

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

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
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.

Do Habitat Restoration Efforts and the Associated Releases of Hatchery‐Reared Fish Affect the Genetic Diversity and Integrity of Native Brown Trout Populations?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Habitat restoration may protect brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations from loss of genetic diversity by increasing environmental carrying capacity and, consequently, population size. However, the accompanying release of hatchery‐reared fish may threaten the genetic integrity of native populations through introgression.

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

Ibis, EarlyView.
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.

Endemic but not eroded: Genomic distinctiveness and conservation genomics of the British swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon britannicus)

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Through whole‐genome sequencing of P. machaon populations across Europe, we demonstrate that P. m. britannicus forms a genetically distinct and isolated lineage. Demographic modelling revealed weak historical gene flow from the continent. Although P. m.

Evidence of Inbreeding in Hodgkin Lymphoma.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified several, mainly co-dominantly acting, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
