Population structure and genetic diversity of the Critically Endangered bowmouth guitarfish (Rhina ancylostomus) in the Northwest Indian Ocean

This study assesses the genetic diversity and population structure of the bowmouth guitarfish in the Northwest Indian Ocean using mitochondrial and SNP data, revealing genetic differentiation and a cline in variation.

Comparative population genomics of manta rays has global implications for management

This study uses comparative population genomics to show that oceanic manta rays have higher genetic diversity and connectivity than reef manta rays, with implications for conservation management.

Conservation management strategy impacts inbreeding and mutation load in scimitar-horned oryx

The paper examines how different conservation management strategies affect inbreeding and mutation load in scimitar-horned oryx using whole genome sequencing data.

Chemical patterns of colony membership and mother-offspring similarity in Antarctic fur seals are reproducible over time

The paper replicates a previous study on Antarctic fur seals, confirming that colony membership and mother-offspring chemical similarity are reproducible over time and across colonies.

A 90K SNP array uncovers inbreeding and cryptic relatedness in an Antarctic fur seal breeding colony

Recent demographic histories and genetic diversity across pinnipeds are shaped by anthropogenic interactions and mediated by ecology and life-history

The paper examines genetic diversity in pinnipeds, showing that recent population declines are linked to historical commercial exploitation, ecology, and life history traits, with no direct correlation to IUCN status.

RAD sequencing and a hybrid Antarctic fur seal genome assembly reveal rapidly decaying linkage disequilibrium, global population structure and evidence for inbreeding
