Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Using non‐invasive nuclear and mitochondrial analysis, this study reveals evidence of introgression in critically endangered Wild Camels (Camelus ferus) from the domestic Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), alongside reduced genetic diversity and higher inbreeding in both in situ and ex situ populations in Mongolia.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We molecularly characterized parrots (Amazona spp.) and macaws (Ara spp.) rescued from illegal trafficking in Colombia using two mitochondrial markers (COI and 16S rRNA). The COI gene showed high resolution for species identification and revealed considerable intraspecific diversity, while 16S rRNA displayed limited taxonomic resolution.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3732-3744, April 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major global food crop, and understanding its maternal lineage and genetic diversity is essential for breeding, authentication, and evolutionary studies. Chloroplast genomes provide valuable markers for phylogenetic inference and cultivar discrimination; however, conventional plant DNA ...

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Primula sect. Auricula is the largest plant clade endemic to Western European mountains and hence an important model to study speciation in mountain plants. Within this section, a clade of closely related and largely cryptic taxa, with P. hirsuta and P. pedemontana as its most prominent members, has remained taxonomically challenging. New taxa

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Solanum malmeanum, a wild relative of the potato (S. tuberosum), is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. This wild potato species belongs to the tertiary gene pool (2x = 2n = 24, 1EBN – Endosperm Balance Number) and possesses valuable traits for potato breeding. Understanding its reproductive mechanisms is crucial for effectively

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT Faeces serve as a widely used non‐invasive material in wildlife studies, from which host DNA can be enriched for high‐throughput sequencing. However, the characteristics of faecal DNA sequencing, particularly the relationship between sequencing volume and genotyping accuracy or genomic coverage, have remained unclear.

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 826-847, April 2026.ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...
