Building a Portuguese coalition for biodiversity genomics
Marques, João P.; Alves, Paulo C.; Amorim, Isabel R.; Lopes, Ricardo J.; Moura, Monica; Myers, Eugene; Sim-sim, Manuela; Sousa-Santos, CarlaThe diverse physiography of the Portuguese land and marine territory, spanning from continental Europe to the Atlantic archipelagos, has made it an important repository of biodiversity throughout the Pleistocene glacial cycles, leading to a remarkable diversity of species and ecosystems. This rich biodiversity is under threat from anthropogenic drivers, such as climate change, invasive species, land use changes...

Data Descriptor: Mountain hare transcriptome and diagnostic markers as resource...
Marques, João P.; Ferreira, Mafalda, S.; Farelo, Liliana; Callahan, Colin M.; Hacklander, Klaus; Jenny, Hannes; Montgomery, W. Ian; Reid, NeilWe report the first mountain hare (Lepus timidus) transcriptome, produced by de novo assembly of RNA-sequencing reads. Data were obtained from eight specimens sampled in two localities, Alps and Ireland. The mountain hare tends to be replaced by the invading European hare (Lepus europaeus) in their numerous contact zones where the species hybridize, which affects their gene pool to a yet unquantified degree. We...
Range expansion underlies historical introgressive hybridization in the Iberian...
Marques, João P.; Farelo, Liliana; Vilela, Joana; Dan Vanderpool; Alves, Paulo C.; Good, Jeffrey M.; Boursot, Pierre; Melo-Ferreira, JoséIntrogressive hybridization is an important and widespread evolutionary process, but the relative roles of neutral demography and natural selection in promoting massive introgression are difficult to assess and an important matter of debate. Hares from the Iberian Peninsula provide an appropriate system to study this question. In its northern range, the Iberian hare, Lepus granatensis, shows a northwards gradie...
