Population genomics for wildlife conservation and management
Biodiversity is under threat worldwide. Over the past decade, the field of population
genomics has developed across nonmodel organisms, and the results of this research have …

[HTML][HTML] Did our species evolve in subdivided populations across Africa, and why does it matter?
We challenge the view that our species, Homo sapiens, evolved within a single population
and/or region of Africa. The chronology and physical diversity of Pleistocene human fossils …

Southern African ancient genomes estimate modern human divergence to 350,000 to 260,000 years ago
Southern Africa is consistently placed as a potential region for the evolution of Homo
sapiens. We present genome sequences, up to 13x coverage, from seven ancient …

Worldwide Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene population declines in extant megafauna are associated with Homo sapiens expansion rather than climate change
The worldwide extinction of megafauna during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene is
evident from the fossil record, with dominant theories suggesting a climate, human or …

A weakly structured stem for human origins in Africa
Despite broad agreement that Homo sapiens originated in Africa, considerable uncertainty
surrounds specific models of divergence and migration across the continent. Progress is …

Demography and its effects on genomic variation in crop domestication
Over two thousand plant species have been modified morphologically through cultivation
and human use. Here, we review three aspects of crop domestication that are currently …

Genome-culture coevolution promotes rapid divergence of killer whale ecotypes
Analysing population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes, which we estimate have
globally radiated within less than 250,000 years, we show that genetic structuring including …

Comparative genomics uncovers the evolutionary history, demography, and molecular adaptations of South American canids
The remarkable radiation of South American (SA) canids produced 10 extant species
distributed across diverse habitats, including disparate forms such as the short-legged …
