TL;DR: The authors investigated whether variation in killer whale (Orcinus orca) demographic history is reflected in genomewide heterozygosity and run-of-homozygosity (ROH) length distributions, using a global data set of 26-genomes representative of geographic and ecotypic variation in this species, and two F1 admixed individuals with Pacific-Atlantic parentage.

TL;DR: The results support the isolation of Amur and Sumatran tigers, while geneflow between Malayan and South Asian tigers may be considered, while the impacts of ongoing connectivity loss on the health and persistence of tigers in India should be closely monitored.
Journal Article
Genetic studies of relationship between Mediterranean and Atlantic populations of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta with mitochondrial marker
L. Laurent,J. Lescure,Laurent Excoffier,B. Bowen,Mariano Domingo,M. Hadjichristophorou,L. Kornaraki,G. Trabuchet +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the Mediterranean nesting female population is genetically isolated from the Atlantic nestingFemale population, but loggerhead turtles of Atlantic origin were found in the West Mediterranean basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferring the impact of linguistic boundaries on population differentiation: application to the Afro-Asiatic–Indo-European case
TL;DR: A quantitative way to assess the impact of language-family boundaries on population differentiation and to evaluate the homogeneity of the genetic processes along these boundaries is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parsimony-based pedigree analysis and individual-based landscape genetics suggest topography to restrict dispersal and connectivity in the endangered capercaillie
TL;DR: This study estimated current dispersal patterns in a regional population of the endangered capercaillie using a novel, parsimony-based application of pedigree analysis, and investigated the relative impact of topography and land use on functional population connectivity.
