This study investigates the genomic landscape of Sika deer populations, emphasizing the
detection and characterization of runs of homozygosity (ROH) and their contribution towards …

Hybridization is a widespread phenomenon in animals, and hybrid heterosis/breakdown
could be key processes determining the evolutionary dynamics of hybrids. Indeed, hybrids …

Invasive species are ranked as one of the leading drivers of global biodiversity loss. To
mitigate their impact, we must understand the future risks caused by invasive species …

Simple Summary The sika deer (Cervus nippon) was introduced in South Korea from Japan
and Taiwan for commercial farming. They have become invasive to mainland South Korea …

Descendants of introgressive hybridization between species may have evolutionary
advantages over their parental species. Prior studies have documented evidence of …

The biodiversity on Earth is dramatically affected by global changes. To understand
biodiversity loss and determine priorities for conservation, it is important to assess whether …

Simple Summary Myostatin is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Despite
variation in the myostatin gene having been reported in livestock species, little work has …

Non-native species threaten native ecosystems and species, particularly on islands where
