Genome‐wide population affinities and signatures of adaptation in hydruntines, sussemiones and Asian wild asses

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 19, October 2024.
Abstract The extremely rich palaeontological record of the horse family, also known as equids, has provided many examples of macroevolutionary change over the last ~55 Mya. This family is also one of the most documented at the palaeogenomic level, with hundreds of ancient genomes sequenced.

Management lessons from a long‐term captive‐breeding program for a critically endangered species, Leadbeater's possum, Gymnobelideus leadbeateri

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2024.
We found that there is no difference in longevity between genetic subgroups, origin, institution, or sex in the captive Leadbeater's possum, Gymnobelideus leadbeateri. When fecundity was analyzed, the historic population had a small subset of successful males and females.

Genomic conservation of Mongolian horses promoted by preservation of the intangible cultural heritage of Naadam in Mongolia

Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2024.
Abstract Uncontrolled crossbreeding is a major challenge to the conservation of landrace horses in East Asia. Understanding the factors driving this trend is crucial for effective conservation efforts. Here, we investigate the genomic makeup of 40 Mongolian Naadam racehorses and 21 Asian landrace horse breeds through analyzing whole‐genome resequencing
