Genetic and Ecological Divergence Between Northwest Atlantic Killer Whale Populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Killer whale (Orcinus orca) populations exhibit substantial genetic, ecological, and morphological differences across their global distribution. In this study, we use whole‐genome resequencing and compound‐specific stable isotope analysis of amino acids to show concurrent genetic and ecological differentiation in two relatively understudied killer ...

Unravelling Taxonomic Complexity in Elusive Cetaceans: Mitogenome Insights into Evolutionary History and Cryptic Diversity of Bryde's Whales

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The Bryde's whale is one of the least understood baleen whale species globally, limiting accuracy of regional and global conservation assessment. This study shows the occurrence of unique genetic lineages and evolutionary histories among Bryde's whale populations.

Hybridization, Maternal Inheritance, and Evolutionary Time of Divergence of Endangered Species of Hypancistrus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) in the Xingu River

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We uncover recent hybridization dynamics among three endemic Hypancistrus species from the Xingu River, including the critically endangered H. zebra. Mitogenomic analyses reveal unidirectional maternal inheritance and recent evolutionary radiation (< 0.5 Ma), explaining their retained reproductive compatibility.

Genomic and Mitonuclear Patterns of Divergence Among Recently Diverged White‐Crowned Sparrow Subspecies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study investigates genetic divergence among white‐crowned sparrow subspecies across North America, revealing three to four distinct genetic clusters based on genome‐wide SNP analysis, particularly highlighting divergence in the Z chromosome. Notably, Z. l. pugetensis consistently diverges from other populations, and a north–south split within Z. l.

Phylogenetic and Population Genetic Analyses Reveal Patterns of Divergence Among Isolates of Ceratocystis manginecans

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Isolates considered broadly as Ceratocystis manginecans have long presented taxonomic challenges due to minimal morphological differences, interfertility and varied species concepts. By analysing seven gene regions, 16 SSR loci, and representative morphological traits across isolates from diverse hosts and regions, we identified two genetically ...

Genetic Divergence in the Absence of Strong Ecological Differences Between Coexisting White and Common Atlantic Marine Stickleback

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We examined whether the “white” threespine stickleback of Nova Scotia represents a nascent species distinct from sympatric common marine sticklebacks. Genomic analyses revealed that whites form a unique genetic cluster with low but widespread divergence across the genome despite evidence of gene flow, while morphometric and isotopic data indicated ...
