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

open access: yesNew 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

open access: yesAnimal 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

Local Genetic Signatures of a Global Weed: Population Structure and Ecological Drivers of Capsella bursa‐pastoris Diversity in the Korean Peninsula

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Capsella bursa‐pastoris is a globally distributed weedy species widely used to study polyploid genome evolution, yet its East Asian populations remain poorly understood. Using RADseq from 187 accessions across the Korean Peninsula, we found evidence of outcrossing and extensive genetic admixture, likely driven by human‐mediated gene flow. These results

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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesEcology 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

Two Closely Related Butterflies Show Pseudo‐Concordant Patterns of Geographic Differentiation in a Heterogeneous Mountain Region

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Phylogeographic pseudo‐concordance among species—coincident spatial structuring coupled with differing levels of intraspecific differentiation—has rarely been documented in heterogeneous regions. We report a clear case in two mountain butterfly species and show how the high density of spatial sampling and the integration of phenotypic and genomic ...
