Genomics of population differentiation in humpback dolphins, Sousa spp. in the ...
Amaral, Ana Rita; Chanfana, Cátia; Smith, Brian D; Mansur, Rubaiyat; Collins, Tim; Baldwin, Robert; Minton, Gianna; Parra, Guido J; Krützen, MichaelSpeciation is a fundamental process in evolution and crucial to the formation of biodiversity. It is a continuous and complex process, which can involve multiple interacting barriers leading to heterogeneous genomic landscapes with various peaks of divergence among populations. In this study, we used a population genomics approach to gain insights on the speciation process and to understand the population struc...
Genomics and the challenging translation into conservation practice
Shafer, Aaron B.A.; Wolf, Jochen B.W.; Alves, Paulo C.; Bergström, Linnea; Bruford, Michael W.; Brännström, Ioana; Colling, Guy; Dalén, LoveThe global loss of biodiversity continues at an alarming rate. Genomic approaches have been suggested as a promising tool for conservation practice as scaling up to genome-wide data can improve traditional conservation genetic inferences and provide qualitatively novel insights. However, the generation of genomic data and subsequent analyses and interpretations remain challenging and largely confined to academi...
Generation of SNP datasets for orangutan population genomics using improved red...
Greminger, Maja P; Stölting, Kai N; Nater, Alexander; Goossens, Benoit; Arora, Natasha; Bruggmann, Rémy; Patrignani, Andrea; Nussberger, BeatriceHigh-throughput sequencing has opened up exciting possibilities in population and conservation genetics by enabling the assessment of genetic variation at genome-wide scales. One approach to reduce genome complexity, i.e. investigating only parts of the genome, is reduced-representation library (RRL) sequencing. Like similar approaches, RRL sequencing reduces ascertainment bias due to simultaneous discovery and...
Effective Population Size Dynamics and the Demographic Collapse of Bornean Oran...
Sharma, Reeta; Arora, Natasha; Goossens, Benoit; Nater, Alexander; Morf, Nadja; Salmona, Jordi; Bruford, Michael W.; Van Schaik, Carel P.Bornean orang-utans experienced a major demographic decline and local extirpations during the Pleistocene and Holocene due to climate change, the arrival of modern humans, of farmers and recent commercially-driven habitat loss and fragmentation. The recent loss of habitat and its dramatic fragmentation has affected the patterns of genetic variability and differentiation among the remaining populations and incre...
