TL;DR: The first genome-wide analyses of the species are reported, including a high-quality genome assembly for kākāpō, one of the first chromosome-level reference genomes sequenced by the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP).

Species in the faeces: DNA metabarcoding as a method to determine the diet of the endangered yellow-eyed penguin
Melanie J. Young,Ludovic Dutoit,Fiona Robertson,Yolanda van Heezik,Philip J. Seddon,Bruce C. Robertson +5 more
TL;DR: DNA metabarcoding offers a robust and comprehensive alternative to other, more intrusive, seabird diet-assessment methods, but still requires parallel studies to provide critical information on prey size, true diet composition and diet quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic signatures of inbreeding in a critically endangered parrot, the kākāpō.
Yasmin Foster,Ludovic Dutoit,Stefanie Grosser,Nicolas Dussex,Nicolas Dussex,Brodie J. Foster,Ken G. Dodds,Rudiger Brauning,Tracey C. van Stijn,Fiona Robertson,John C. McEwan,Jeanne M. E. Jacobs,Bruce C. Robertson +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated levels of inbreeding in a critically endangered flightless parrot, the kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus), wherein a highly inbred island population and one individual from the mainland of New Zealand founded the entire extant population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic affinities of the Whenua Hou Diving Petrel: implications for conservation
Stefanie Grosser,Fiona Robertson,Lara D. Shepherd,Alan J. D. Tennyson,Colin M. Miskelly,Graeme A. Taylor,Bruce C. Robertson +6 more
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships of the Pelecanoides diving petrels are examined with analyses of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, focusing in particular on the recently described and critically endangered Whenua Hou Diving Petrel (P. whenuahouensis).
