Insight into how genomes change and adapt due to selection addresses key questions in
evolutionary biology and in domestication of animals and plants by humans. In that regard …

In recent decades, the wild boar S us scrofa has simultaneously increased its population
size and colonized new habitats, causing more ecological and socio‐economic concern …

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) currently comprise a single, cosmopolitan species with a
diverse diet. However, studies over the last 30 yr have revealed populations of sympatric …

Inbreeding has long been recognized as a primary cause of fitness reduction in both wild
and domesticated populations. Consanguineous matings cause inheritance of haplotypes …

Climate change is known to affect ecosystems globally, but our knowledge of its impact on
large and widespread mammals, and possibly population-specific responses is still sparse …

The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer,
and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …

Landscape genetics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that combines methods and
concepts from population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial statistics. The interest in …

Despite the vast literature on genetic variation in the domestic pig Sus scrofa, little is known
about genetic differentiation in wild boar populations. Here we present an up-to-date review …

Present‐day genetic introgression from domestic pigs into European wild boar has been
suggested in various studies. However, no hybrids have been identified beyond doubt …

Mesolithic populations throughout Europe used diverse resource exploitation strategies that
focused heavily on collecting and hunting wild prey. Between 5500 and 4200 cal BC …
