An allele-sharing, moment-based estimator of global, population specific and population pairs FST under a general model of population structure

The paper introduces an allele-sharing, moment-based estimator for FST that works under a general population structure model and highlights limitations of existing methods.

Genetically diverse populations hold the keys to climatic adaptation: a lesson from a cosmopolitan raptor

This study shows that genetic diversity in barn owls enables adaptation to past and future climate changes by analyzing ecological niche models and genomic data.

Genomic bases of insularity and ecological divergence in barn owls (Tyto alba) of the Canary Islands

This study uses whole-genome data from barn owls in the Canary Islands to identify genomic regions associated with insular adaptation and ecological divergence.

Genomic consequences of colonisation, migration and genetic drift in barn owl insular populations of the eastern Mediterranean

This study uses whole genome sequences of barn owls to analyze genetic diversity and inbreeding in insular populations, showing distinct demographic histories between Crete and Cyprus.

Landscape and climatic variations of the Quaternary shaped multiple secondary contacts among barn owls (Tyto alba) of the Western Palearctic

This study uses whole-genome sequences to reveal the complex population history of barn owls in the Western Palearctic, identifying multiple secondary contacts and glacial refugia.

Unexpected post-glacial colonisation route explains the white colour of barn owls (Tyto alba) from the British Isles

The paper shows barn owls in the British Isles inherited white coloration from an Iberian refugium via an unexpected post-glacial route, not through Doggerland.

Assessing natural selection during range expansions: Insights from a spatially explicit ABC study

This study uses spatially explicit ABC simulations to assess natural selection during range expansions, finding that isolation-by-distance statistics reliably estimate selection strength despite genetic and demographic noise.

Phosphorus acquisition efficiency in arbuscular mycorrhizal maize is correlated with the abundance of root-external hyphae and the accumulation of transcripts encoding PHT1 phosphate transporters

The paper investigates how genetic variation in maize affects phosphorus acquisition efficiency through arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, finding correlations with root hyphae abundance and PHT1 transporter transcripts.
