Multiple bursts of speciation in Madagascar's endangered lemurs

This study investigates the speciation patterns in lemurs, revealing multiple diversification bursts and high genomic introgression rates, which contribute to their diversity and have implications for conservation.

Genetic variation in Loudetia simplex supports the presence of ancient grasslands in Madagascar

This study uses genetic analysis of Loudetia simplex to infer ancient grassland distribution in Madagascar and assesses the utility of target-enrichment data for population genetics.

Mutationathon: towards standardization in estimates of pedigree-based germline mutation rates

The paper evaluates variation in germline mutation rate estimates across labs using a standardized pedigree of rhesus macaques, highlighting methodological differences and the need for standardization.

RADseq data reveal a lack of admixture in a mouse lemur contact zone contrary to previous microsatellite results

The paper uses RADseq data to show no admixture in a mouse lemur contact zone, contradicting previous microsatellite findings of hybridization.

Molecular adaptation to folivory and the conservation implications for Madagascar's lemurs

This study examines genetic adaptation in RNASE1 across folivorous lemurs to understand dietary specialization and its conservation implications.

Benefits and Limits of Phasing Alleles for Network Inference of Allopolyploid Complexes

This paper shows that phasing alleles from allopolyploids improves phylogenetic network inference but faces challenges due to statistical non-identifiability.

Pedigree-based measurement of the de novo mutation rate in the gray mouse lemur reveals a high mutation rate, few mutations in CpG sites, and a weak sex bias

The paper estimates the de novo mutation rate in gray mouse lemurs using linked-read sequencing and finds a high mutation rate, few mutations in CpG sites, and a weak sex bias.

Cryptic patterns of speciation in cryptic primates: microendemic mouse lemurs and the multispecies coalescent

The paper investigates species boundaries in mouse lemurs using multispecies coalescent methods, finding that some previously recognized species are not distinct while an undescribed lineage is supported as a new species.

Population genomic structure in Goodman's mouse lemur reveals long-standing separation of Madagascar's Central Highlands and eastern rainforests

The paper uses RADseq data and coalescent methods to analyze population genomic structure in Goodman's mouse lemur, revealing historical separation between Madagascar's Central Highlands and eastern rainforests.
