Lack of Population Structure of an Extreme Migratory Shorebird: Evidence of Gene Flow Between Geographically Disparate Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Gene flow is key to understand the population connectivity of a given species, specially when small and segregated populations threaten its conservation. In this study we explored the population structure of the Hudsonian Godwit (Limosa haemastica), a long‐distance migratory shorebird.

Adaptive Genetic Variation in Black‐and‐White Snub‐Nosed Monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti): Low Diversity and the Role of Balancing Selection

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We investigated the adaptive genetic diversity within a population of Rhinopithecus bieti using amplicon sequencing. From 47 individuals, we identified 16 MHC class I sequences, revealing a low level of adaptive genetic variation. Although evidence for balancing selection, including positive selection and trans‐species polymorphism, was observed, these

Retracing the Response of Rangifer to Postglacial Climate Change in Arctic Islands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our study examines the role of sea ice and glacial retreat in shaping the biogeography of Rangifer tarandus across Arctic islands since the last glacial period. Using mitochondrial DNA analysis and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) modelling, we found that Arctic island dispersal occurred during the Holocene, with sea ice cover likely influencing ...
