• Adaptation to the High-Arctic island environment despite long-term reduced genetic variation in Svalbard reindeer 

      Dussex, Nicolas; Tørresen, Ole Kristian; van der Valk, Tom; Le Moullec, Mathilde; Veiberg, Vebjørn; Tooming-Klunderud, Ave; Skage, Morten; Garmann-Aarhus, Benedicte; Wood, Jonathan; Rasmussen, Jacob Agerbo; Pedersen, Åshild Ønvik; Martin, Sarah Louise; Røed, Knut; Jakobsen, Kjetill Sigurd; Dalén, Love; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Martin, Michael David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Typically much smaller in number than their mainland counterparts, island populations are ideal systems to investigate genetic threats to small populations. The Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) is an ...

    • Extended survival of Pleistocene Siberian wolves into the early 20th century on the island of Honshū 

      Niemann, Jonas; Gopalakrishnan, Shyam; Yamaguchi, Nobuyuki; Ramos-Madrigal, Jazmín; Wales, Nathan; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The Japanese or Honshū wolf was one the most distinct gray wolf subspecies due to its small stature and endemicity to the islands of Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū. Long revered as a guardian of farmers and travellers, it was ...
    • The extinct Sicilian wolf shows a complex history of isolation and admixture with ancient dogs 

      Ciucani, Marta Maria; Ramos-Madrigal, Jazmín; Hernández-Alonso, Germán; Carmagnini, Alberto; Aninta, Sabhrina Gita; Sun, Xin; Scharff-Olsen, Camilla Hjorth; Lanigan, Liam Thomas; Fracasso, Ilaria; Clausen, Cecilie G.; Aspi, Jouni; Kojola, Ilpo; Baltrūnaitė, Laima; Balčiauskas, Linas; Moore, Jane; Åkesson, Mikael; Saarma, Urmas; Hindrikson, Maris; Hulva, Pavel; Bolfíková, Barbora Černá; Nowak, Carsten; Godinho, Raquel; Smith, Steve; Paule, Ladislav; Nowak, Sabina; Mysłajek, Robert W.; Lo Brutto, Sabrina; Ciucci, Paolo; Boitani, Luigi; Vernesi, Cristiano; Stenøien, Hans Kristen; Smith, Oliver; Frantz, Laurent; Rossi, Lorenzo; Angelici, Francesco Maria; Cilli, Elisabetta; Sinding, Mikkel Holger Strander; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Gopalakrishnan, Shyam (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Sicilian wolf remained isolated in Sicily from the end of the Pleistocene until its extermination in the 1930s–1960s. Given its long-term isolation on the island and distinctive morphology, the genetic origin of the ...
    • Holo-Omics: Integrated Host-Microbiota Multi-omics for Basic and Applied Biological Research 

      Nyholm, Lasse; Koziol, Adam; Marcos, Sofia; Botnen, Amanda Bolt; Aizpurua, Ostaizka; Gopalakrishnan, Shyam; Limborg, Morten T.; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Alberdi, Antton (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      From ontogenesis to homeostasis, the phenotypes of complex organisms are shaped by the bidirectional interactions between the host organisms and their associated microbiota. Current technology can reveal many such interactions ...
    • Kouprey (Bos sauveli) genomes unveil polytomic origin of wild Asian Bos 

      Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S.; Ciucani, Marta M.; Ramos-Madrigal, Jazmín; Carmagnini, Alberto; Rasmussen, Jacob A.; Feng, Shaohong; Chen, Guangji; Vieira, Filipe G.; Mattiangeli, Valeria; Ganjoo, Rajinder K.; Larson, Greger; Sicheritz-Pontén, Thomas; Petersen, Bent; Frantz, Laurent A.F.; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Bradley, Daniel G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The evolution of the genera Bos and Bison, and the nature of gene flow between wild and domestic species, is poorly understood, with genomic data of wild species being limited. We generated two genomes from the likely ...
