The paper investigates inbreeding depression in aquatic warblers, finding stronger effects in smaller individuals and highlighting the importance of phenotypic and environmental interactions.

This study uses DNA metabarcoding of hyena feces to show that spotted hyenas in the Ngorongoro Crater rarely consume livestock or black rhinoceros, with diet preferences focused on wild ungulates.

The paper uses whole-genome resequencing to analyze population structure and diversity in Antarctic toothfish, finding exceptions to panmixia and reduced diversity in the Ross Sea post-2000.

This study presents chromosome-level genomes for sloths and anteaters, revealing retrocopy formation and domestication as key drivers of xenarthran genome evolution and physiological specializations.

The paper demonstrates long-read sequencing and genome assembly of ethanol-preserved samples, including challenging organisms like the maned sloth, achieving a 3.1 Gb assembly.

This study compares manual and automated methods for transposable element annotation in Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes albopictus, finding that automated methods identify more TEs but manual curation provides more detailed classifications.

The paper presents haplotype-resolved genomes for five sea turtle species, revealing conserved synteny and divergence hotspots linked to immune and sensory genes, and population expansion during the Pleistocene.

The paper analyzes genomes of leatherback and green turtles to identify gene family expansions and demographic differences that may influence their ecological adaptations and conservation status.

The paper investigates hybridization and population structure of hawksbill and loggerhead turtles in Brazil using multilocus haplotypes, finding evidence of F2 hybrids and male-mediated gene flow.

The paper uses genomic data to show that Amazonian manatees have colonized the Guianas coastline and hybridized with West Indian manatees, supporting the need for a special conservation area.
