The Relative Roles of Selection and Drift in the Chaffinch Radiation (Aves: <i>Fringilla</i>) Across the Atlantic Archipelagos of Macaronesia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWhen colonizing oceanic archipelagos, island populations diverge through mechanisms of local adaptation and neutral processes. This study investigates the roles of selection and genetic drift in the radiation of chaffinches (Fringilla genus) in Macaronesia.

Potential of Ex Situ Conservation Strains Revealed by Genetic Analysis of Oceanic Islands' Endangered Species Pittosporum parvifolium. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe Ogasawara Islands, home to the critically endangered shrub Pittosporum parvifolium, have seen significant conservation efforts, yet challenges remain due to insufficient critical information. Our study used simple sequence repeat markers to reveal high genetic diversity in both in situ and ex situ populations, with unique genotypes found in each ...
