Estimation of Inbreeding Depression From Overdominant Loci Using Molecular Markers

Evolutionary Applications
Inbreeding depression is a highly relevant universal phenomenon in population and conservation genetics since it leads to a decline in the fitness of individuals.

Unravelling the Genetic Structure of Local and Mainstream Red‐Pied Cattle Breeds Using Genomics and Extended Pedigree Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 705-718, September 2026.
ABSTRACT During the last decade, there has been a growing interest for local and endangered breeds as they are often seen as more resilient and healthier than mainstream breeds. They can also provide high added‐value products like meat or dairy products.

Global population structures and demographic history of Suillus luteus, a pine co‐introduced ectomycorrhizal fungus associated with exotic forestry and invasion

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2964-2979, September 2026.
Global phylogenomic tree and phylogenetic network of Suillus luteus and its closely related species. Summary Human colonization since the 19th century has resulted in the global spread of pines beyond their original northern boreal distribution. Although the introduction history of pines is documented through historical records, little is known about ...

Characterization of Lipizzan Horse Population From Lipica Stud Using Molecular and Pedigree Data

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, we analysed genetic diversity, population structure and inbreeding in the Lipica Stud Farm population by integrating pedigree records, microsatellite (STR) and genome‐wide SNP data generated using the GGP Equine 70K BeadChip. The dataset comprised 233 horses from the Lipica Stud Farm, which served as the reference population for

Quaternary Climate Oscillations Shape Genetic Diversity and Spatial Structure of Viola hybanthoides (Violaceae) Endemic to Danxia Landscape

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 ...

Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia

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.

Neighboring Gulf Killifish (Fundulus grandis) Populations Differ in Their Plastic and Genetic Responses to Salinity Fluctuations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Coastal development can alter the salinity fluctuations experienced by tidal creek systems. Understanding how resident organisms, such as the Gulf killifish, respond to these changes is critical, as development along the coastline is projected to triple in the coming decades.

Development and Genetic Monitoring of a Putatively Thiamine Deficiency Complex Tolerant Atlantic Salmon Broodstock

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
