    • Ecology, Not Host Phylogeny, Shapes the Oral Microbiome in Closely Related Species 

      Maraitou, Markella; Forsythe, Adrian; Fellows Yates, James A.; Brealey, Jaelle; Warinner, Christina; Guschanski, Katerina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Host-associated microbiomes are essential for a multitude of biological processes. Placed at the contact zone between external and internal environments, the little-studied oral microbiome has important roles in host ...

    • Extensive genome-wide phylogenetic discordance is due to incomplete lineage sorting and not ongoing introgression in a rapidly radiated bryophyte genus 

      Meleshko, Olena; Martin, Michael David; Korneliussen, Thorfinn Sand; Schröck, Christian; Lamkowski, Paul; Schmutz, Jeremy; Healey, Adam; Piatkowski, Bryan T; Shaw, A. Jonathan; Weston, David J; Flatberg, Kjell Ivar; Szövényi, Péter; Hassel, Kristian; Stenøien, Hans K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The relative importance of introgression for diversification has long been a highly disputed topic in speciation research and remains an open question despite the great attention it has received over the past decade. Gene ...

    • Genetic Load and Adaptive Potential of a Recovered Avian Species that Narrowly Avoided Extinction 

      Femerling, Georgette; van Oosterhout, Cock; Feng, Shaohong; Bristol, Rachel M.; Zhang, Guojie; Groombridge, Jim; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Morales, Hernán E (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      High genetic diversity is a good predictor of long-term population viability, yet some species persevere despite having low genetic diversity. Here we study the genomic erosion of the Seychelles paradise flycatcher ...

    • Historic Sampling of a Vanishing Beast: Population Structure and Diversity in the Black Rhinoceros 

      Sánchez-Barreiro, Fátima; De Cahsan, Binia; Westbury, Michael V.; Sun, Xin; Margaryan, Ashot; Fontsere, Claudia; Bruford, Michael W.; Russo, Isa-Rita M; Kalthoff, Daniela C.; Sicheritz-Pontén, Thomas; Petersen, Bent; Dalén, Love; Zhang, Guojie; Marquès-Bonet, Tomás; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Moodley, Yoshan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis L.) is a critically endangered species historically distributed across sub-Saharan Africa. Hunting and habitat disturbance have diminished both its numbers and distribution since the ...

    • Rapid Parallel Adaptation to Anthropogenic Heavy Metal Pollution 

      Papadopulos, Alexander; Helmstetter, A.; Osborne, Owen; Comeault, Aaron; Wood, Daniel; Straw, Edward; Mason, Laurence; Fay, Michael F; Foote, Andrew; Parker, Joe; Dunning, Luke; Smith, Rhian; Lighten, Jackie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The impact of human-mediated environmental change on the evolutionary trajectories of wild organisms is poorly understood. In particular, species’ capacities to adapt rapidly (in hundreds of generations or less), reproducibly ...

    • Redefining the Evolutionary History of the Rock Dove, Columba livia, Using Whole Genome Sequences 

      Hernández-Alonso, Germán; Ramos-Madrigal, Jazmín; van Grouw, Hein; Ciucani, MartaMaria; Cavill, Emily Louisa; Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S.; Gopalakrishnan, Shyam; Pacheco, George; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The domestic pigeon's exceptional phenotypic diversity was key in developing Darwin's Theory of Evolution and establishing the concept of artificial selection. However, unlike its domestic counterpart, its wild progenitor, ...
