This study quantifies genomic inbreeding depression across 20 wild vertebrate populations, finding significant negative fitness effects and no link to conservation status or isolation.

The paper develops a genomic toolkit for Seychelles warblers, enabling genetic pedigree assignment and correcting sample identity errors using high-quality genomic data.

The paper analyzes virome and bacteriome profiles in term and preterm placentas from African, Asian, and European women to explore associations with spontaneous preterm birth.

This study compares environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with hand-sorting to evaluate earthworm biodiversity recovery in regenerative agriculture, finding eDNA more effective in detecting anecic species and quantifying richness.

The paper generates genome-wide SNP data for manta and devil rays to improve conservation strategies by identifying species and population-level diversity.
