Dynamics of Adaptive Introgression from Archaic to Modern Humans.

PaleoAnthropology, 2006
Recent evidence from the genomic variation of living people documents genetic contributions from archaic to later modern humans. This evidence of introgression contrasts with earlier findings from single loci that appeared to exclude archaic human ...

Technical and Consumer Preferences Integrated for the Development of Cassava Varieties with High Nutritional Quality Adapted to Colombian Caribbean Coast

Plants
Increasing the nutritional composition of food is a strategy to add added value to products in key agrochains, contributing to food security, and providing nutritional compounds available to improve selected nutritional deficiencies.

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

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
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.

Improving Decision‐Making in the Identification of Tephritidae Larvae at Import in the European Union and Key to Third Instar Larvae

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Tephritidae family, or true fruit flies, comprises approximately 250 species recognized as economically significant due to their capacity to infest commercial fruits. These pests pose serious threats to both food security and trade, and are considered quarantine pests in areas where they are not yet established. In the European Union (EU),

A Highly Divergent Mitochondrial Genome in Extant Cape Buffalo From Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa

Ecology and Evolution
The reduced cost of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has allowed researchers to generate nuclear and mitochondrial genome data to gain deeper insights into the phylogeography, evolutionary history and biology of non‐model species. While the Cape buffalo (

Towards Introgression Between Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and Its Wild Relative, Bitter Apple (C. colocynthis)

Horticulturae
The genetic diversity of cultivated crops is limited, largely as a result of domestication bottlenecks and the selective pressures imposed during modern breeding.

The physiological response of juvenile diploid and triploid Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus to exhaustive exercise

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Triploidy is an effective tool for producing sterile fishes but often results in impaired performance in commercial aquaculture. In light of this, our study compared the physiological response to exhaustive exercise in juvenile diploid and triploid Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus, a polar species with great potential for aquaculture.

Hybridization breaks species barriers in long-term coevolution of a cyanobacterial population

eLife
Bacterial species often undergo rampant recombination yet maintain cohesive genomic identity. Ecological differences can generate recombination barriers between species and sustain genomic clusters in the short term.

Bony fish genomes: Status and gaps

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bony fish constitute an exceptionally species‐rich group of aquatic vertebrates, comprising more than 95% of all living fish. The adaptive processes on the diversity of environments they inhabit make them a highly diverse group from taxonomic, morphological and evolutionary standpoints.

Contrasting population genetic structures of congeneric coastal flounders associated with different early life histories

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine fish species are likely to exhibit little genetic differentiation among populations due to their high dispersal potential during early life stages and migratory nature. However, recent studies have increasingly reported intraspecific genetic differentiation resulting from species‐specific ecological traits, environmental factors, and ...
