Predicting species invasiveness with genomic data: is Genomic Offset related to establishment probability?

This study evaluates Genomic Offset (GO) as a predictor of establishment probability in invasive species using simulations and empirical data from Bactrocera tryoni.

Genomic reconstruction of the successful establishment of a feralized bovine population on the subantarctic island of Amsterdam

This study reconstructs the genetic history of feral cattle on Amsterdam Island, revealing a bottleneck, ancestry contributions, and genetic adaptation to the environment.

Environmental drivers of earthworm communities along an altitudinal gradient in the French Alps

The paper examines earthworm communities along an altitudinal gradient in the French Alps, finding that treeline ecotones, rather than altitude alone, drive community diversity and abundance.

Divergence of olfactory receptors associated with the evolution of assortative mating and reproductive isolation in mice

This study identifies olfactory receptor genes associated with assortative mating and reproductive isolation in mice by combining population genomics and functional predictions.

Rapid and transient evolution of local adaptation to seasonal host fruits in an invasive pest fly

This study shows that local adaptation, not phenotypic plasticity, dominates in Drosophila suzukii populations adapting to changing host fruits over generations.

The genetic history of Mayotte and Madagascar cattle breeds mirrors the complex pattern of human exchanges in Western Indian Ocean

This study traces the genetic history of cattle breeds in Mayotte and Madagascar, revealing their origins and adaptation to tropical conditions through human trade and migration patterns.

Adaptation and correlated fitness responses over two time scales in Drosophila suzukii populations evolving in different environments

This study tracks fitness changes in Drosophila suzukii populations across multiple generations and environments, revealing how adaptation dynamics differ over time.

f-statistics estimation and admixture graph construction with Pool-Seq or allele count data using the R package poolfstat

The paper introduces an R package for estimating f-statistics and constructing admixture graphs from Pool-Seq or allele count data, validated on simulated and real datasets.

The worldwide invasion of Drosophila suzukii isaccompanied by a large increase of transposable elementload and a small number of putatively adaptive insertions

The paper examines TE load and adaptive insertions in Drosophila suzukii invasive populations, finding increased TE load and 15 putatively adaptive insertions.

Exploring systematic biases, rooting methods and morphological evidence to unravel the evolutionary history of the genus Ficus (Moraceae)

This study combines RAD sequencing and morphological data to resolve the phylogeny of Ficus, identifying biases and revealing a monophyletic subgenus and gynodioecious clade.

Near-chromosome level genome assembly of the fruit pest Drosophila suzukii using long-read sequencing

This paper improves the genome assembly of Drosophila suzukii using long-read sequencing, resulting in a higher quality and more contiguous genome compared to previous short-read assemblies.

A whole-genome scan for association with invasion success in the fruit fly Drosophila suzukii using contrasts of allele frequencies corrected for population structure

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with invasion success in Drosophila suzukii using a new statistical method to correct for population structure.

Measuring genetic differentiation from Pool-seq data

This paper introduces an unbiased FST estimator for Pool-seq data, demonstrating its superiority over existing methods through simulations and application to prickly sculpin ecotype data.

Species composition and environmental adaptation of indigenous Chinese cattle

The paper analyzes genetic diversity and adaptation in indigenous Chinese cattle, identifying genes associated with environmental adaptation and confirming historical admixture patterns.

Taming the Late Quaternary phylogeography of the Eurasiatic wild ass through ancient and modern DNA

This study uses ancient and modern DNA to resolve the phylogeography of the Eurasiatic wild ass, identifying nine clades and clarifying the evolutionary history and gene flow between populations.
