Geographic isolation reduces genetic diversity of a wide‐ranging terrestrial vertebrate, Canis lupus

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Genetic diversity is theorized to decrease in populations closer to a species' range edge, where habitat may be suboptimal. Generalist species capable of long‐range dispersal may maintain sufficient gene flow to counteract this, though the presence of significant barriers to dispersal (e.g., large water bodies, human‐dominated landscapes) may ...

Reduced Representation and Whole-Genome Sequencing Approaches Highlight Beluga Whale Populations Associated to Eastern Canada Summer Aggregations. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Effective conservation strategies inherently depend on preserving populations, which in turn requires accurate tools for their detection. Beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) inhabit the circumpolar Arctic and form discrete summer aggregations.
