Inbreeding and Demographic History of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Western Canada Inferred From Genome‐Wide SNP Data

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Assessing genetic diversity is essential for conserving endangered populations, yet comprehensive genomic evaluations remain limited for many declining species. Here, we investigated inbreeding levels and effective population sizes (Ne) of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in western Canada, where populations have experienced pronounced declines ...

Impacts of Quaternary Climate History on the Biogeography of Specialized Butterflies in the Great Basin of North America

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Dramatic Quaternary climate fluctuations impacted the evolutionary history and contemporary biogeography of many residents of the Great Basin Desert of western North America. This study investigates the historical biogeographic processes that shaped the contemporary distribution of genetic variation in a polytypic group of specialized ...

Range‐Wide Genetic Population Structure and Environmental Adaptation in the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Provides Insight for Aquaculture

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Selective breeding in aquaculture is necessary to establish food security and meet demand for sustainably produced protein. An informed selective breeding program requires understanding how population structure, environmental adaptation, and human activities shape natural genetic variation in wild conspecifics.

Divergent Thermal Reaction Norms of the Spontaneous Mutation Rate Among Populations of Chironomus riparius

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The germline mutation rate μ is a fundamental evolutionary parameter, yet its plasticity in response to environmental factors, particularly temperature, remains poorly understood. While often modelled as a species‐specific constant, we tested whether μ evolves in response to local thermal regimes.

Multiple Eurasian Origins and Admixture Shaped the Genomic Legacy of the House Mouse Invasion in Africa

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Commensal mammals offer unique opportunities to study how human‐mediated dispersal, admixture, and secondary contact shape genomic variation during range expansion, yet for one of the most successful invasive commensals globally, the western house mouse Mus musculus domesticus, invasion dynamics across Africa remain largely unexplored.
