The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

Due to environmental change and anthropogenic activities, global biodiversity has suffered
an unprecedented loss, and the world is now heading toward the sixth mass extinction …

Admixture between species is a cause for concern in wildlife management. Canids are
particularly vulnerable to interspecific hybridisation, and genetic admixture has shaped their …

Deciphering the origins of phenotypic variations in natural animal populations is a
challenging topic for evolutionary and conservation biologists. Atypical morphologies in …

We developed a highly contiguous chromosome-level reference genome for North American
bison to provide a platform to evaluate the conservation, ecological, evolutionary, and …

Hybridization between different species of parasites is increasingly being recognised as a
major public and veterinary health concern at the interface of infectious diseases biology …

The reintroduction of extirpated species is a frequent tactic in rewilding projects because of
the functional role species play in maintaining ecosystem health. Despite their potential to …

The wisent (Bison bonasus) is Europe's largest land mammal. We produced a HiFi read-
based wisent assembly with a contig N50 value of 91 Mb containing 99.7% of the highly …

The genomes of most vertebrates contain many V, D, and J gene segments within their Ig
loci to construct highly variable CDR3 sequences through combinatorial diversity. This …

Crater lake fishes are common evolutionary model systems, with recent studies suggesting a
key role for gene flow in promoting rapid adaptation and speciation. However, the study of …
