Leveraging Synteny to Generate Reference Genomes for Conservation: Assembling the Genomes of Hector's and Māui Dolphins

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...

Influence of Alignment on the mtDNA Phylogeny of Cetacea: Questionable Support for a Mysticeti/Physeteroidea Clade [PDF]

Systematic Biology, 1998
Cetacea has traditionally been divided into Odontoceti, the toothed whales, and Mysticeti, the baleen whales. These groups have been considered monophy? letic, although their origins and age have been historically debated. Recently, Mil? inkovitch et al. (1993, 1994) reported a revised phylogeny for Cetacea, based upon phylogenetic analysis of mitochon?

A Composite Genome Approach to Identify Phylogenetically Informative Data from Next-Generation Sequencing

, 2014
We have developed a novel method to rapidly obtain homologous genomic data for phylogenetics directly from next-generation sequencing reads without the use of a reference genome.

A revision of the fossil genus Miocepphus and other Miocene Alcidae (Aves: Charadriiformes) of the Western North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2009
This study reviews and describes all known fossils of Alcidae from the Miocene of the western North Atlantic. Because the majority of alcid fossils recovered from Miocene sediments are allied with the genus Miocepphus Wetmore, 1940, the genus is revised ...

μCeta: A Set of Cetacean‐Specific Primers for Environmental DNA Metabarcoding With Minimal Amplification of Non‐Target Vertebrates

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Cetacean eDNA metabarcoding results from the aquarium pool samples using new cetacean‐specific primers. μCeta shows superior performance to detect and differentiate different cetacean species. ABSTRACT Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics and species distributions, particularly in the context of anthropogenic impacts ...

Stratigraphy of an Early-Middle Miocene sequence near Antwerp in northern Belgium (southern North Sea Basin) [PDF]

, 2010
The lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy of a temporary outcrop in the Antwerp area is described. The deposits can be attributed to the Kiel Sands and the Antwerpen Sands members, both belonging to the Lower and Middle Miocene Berchem Formation ...

Generating Spatialised and Seasonal Deep‐Time Palaeoclimatic Information: Integration Into an Environmental‐Dependent Diversification Model

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Testing the impact of climate on diversification is a major goal of evolutionary biology. Birth‐death models like palaeoenvironment‐dependent diversification (PDD) models, for example, allow exploring the potential correlations between diversification dynamics and past environmental changes, such as temperature, among other abiotic ...

Analysis of the FGF gene family provides insights into aquatic adaptation in cetaceans [PDF]

, 2017
Cetacean body structure and physiology exhibit dramatic adaptations to their aquatic environment. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of essential factors that regulate animal development and physiology; however, their role in cetacean ...
