Municipal wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) are prone to the proliferation of
cyanobacterial species which thrive in stable, nutrient-rich environments. Dense …

Sex chromosomes regularly evolve suppressed recombination, distinguishing them from
other chromosomes, and the reason for this has been debated for many years. It is now clear …

Application of high-throughput sequencing technologies to microsatellite genotyping
(SSRseq) has been shown to remove many of the limitations of electrophoresis-based …

Aquatic ecosystems that form major biodiversity hotspots are critically threatened due to
environmental and anthropogenic stressors. We believe that, in this genomic era …

Polar bears rely upon sea ice to hunt, travel, and reproduce. Declining sea ice extent and
duration has led polar bears to be designated as “threatened”(ESA). Population monitoring …

Stock assessments serve to monitor the condition of fish stocks and exploit them sustainably
but require accurate data such as growth and mortality rates as input parameters. Most …

Habitat fragmentation, species introduction and poor management have disturbed
populations of migratory fish worldwide. No study, however, has investigated how the sum of …

Individual variation in milk fatty acid (FA) composition has been partially attributed to stearoyl‐
CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) gene polymorphisms in taurine breeds, but much less is known …

Microhaplotypes are small linked genomic regions comprising two or more single‐
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are being applied in forensics and are emerging in …

Complete mitochondrial sequences can be rapidly obtained and are widely available,
providing a great source of species information and allowing for the discovery of new …
