Inversions dominate evolution in the european sardine (sardina pilchardus) amid...
Sabatino, Stephen J.; Cabezas, M. Pilar; Pereira, Paulo; Garrido, Susana; Santos, António M.; Carneiro, Miguel; Santos, Paulo T.; Louro, BrunoInversions can play key roles in the genetic architecture of adaptation, but the scale of their effects across different species remains poorly understood. Here, we use whole-genome sequencing and demographic modelling to investigate the influence of inversions on the population genomics of the r-selected European sardine (Sardina pilchardus). Allele frequency differences from millions of SNPs across 34 populat...

A haplotype-resolved draft genome of the European sardine (Sardina pilchardus)
Louro, Bruno; De Moro, Gianluca; Garcia, Carlos; Cox, Cymon; Veríssimo, Ana; Sabatino, Stephen J.; Santos, António M.; Canario, A.V.M.The European sardine (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum, 1792) is culturally and economically important throughout its distribution. Monitoring studies of sardine populations report an alarming decrease in stocks due to overfishing and environmental change, which has resulted in historically low captures along the Iberian Atlantic coast. Important biological and ecological features such as population diversity, struct...
Global spatial risk assessment of sharks under the footprint of fisheries
Queiroz, Nuno; Humphries, Nicolas E.; Couto, Ana; Vedor, Marisa; Costa, Ivo da; Sequeira, Ana M. M.; Mucientes, Gonzalo; Santos, António M.Effective ocean management and the conservation of highly migratory species depend on resolving the overlap between animal movements and distributions, and fishing effort. However, this information is lacking at a global scale. Here we show, using a big-data approach that combines satellite-tracked movements of pelagic sharks and global fishing fleets, that 24% of the mean monthly space used by sharks falls und...
