Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high‐latitude wildlife species
through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from …

Genomic resources are important for evaluating genetic diversity and supporting
conservation efforts. The garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus) is a small rodent that has …

Utah prairie dogs (Cynomys parvidens) are federally threatened due to eradication
campaigns, habitat destruction, and outbreaks of plague. Today, Utah prairie dogs exist in …

As part of research and wildlife disease surveillance efforts, we performed necropsy
examinations of 125 free-ranging (n= 114) and captive (n= 11) prairie dogs in Colorado from …

Here, we present the initial comparison of the nuclear genomes of the North American
raccoon (Procyon lotor) and the kinkajou (Potos flavus) based on draft assemblies. These …

Species of conservation concern often exist in fragmented habitats and experience low
population numbers. Habitat fragmentation can separate groups of individuals into small …

Genomic resources are under-developed for rodents, including well-studied species such as
prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.). We conducted whole-genome resequencing on 10 Gunnison's …

Identifying genes underlying adaptation is a fundamental goal of modern biology. Genome-
wide association studies (GWAS) represent a critical first step in identifying the genetic basis …

Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high-latitude wildlife species
through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from …

Gunnison's prairie dogs (Cynomys gunnisoni; GUPD) are 1 of 5 species of prairie dogs
occurring in North America and comprises two subspecies. The montane and prairie …
