Limited genomic signatures of population collapse in the critically endangered black abalone (Haliotis cracherodii)

The paper analyzes the genomes of black abalone to assess genetic impacts of a population collapse and finds no spatial genetic structure, high genetic diversity, and low WS prevalence, suggesting translocation could aid recovery.

Genetic basis and evolution of structural color polymorphism in an Australian songbird

The paper investigates the genetic basis of melanism in white-winged fairywren subspecies, finding that the mainland blue subspecies re-evolved blue plumage from a black ancestor through genetic changes in ASIP and SCUBE2.

Low mutation load in a supergene underpinning alternative male mating strategies in ruff

The paper examines a supergene in ruffs, finding low mutation load in a recessive lethal allele despite high sequence divergence, suggesting a recent origin and introgression from an extinct lineage.
