The critically endangered vaquita is not doomed to extinction by inbreeding depression
In cases of severe wildlife population decline, a key question is whether recovery efforts will
be impeded by genetic factors, such as inbreeding depression. Decades of excess mortality …

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 …

Runs of homozygosity in killer whale genomes provide a global record of demographic histories
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) occur when offspring inherit haplotypes that are identical by
descent from each parent. Length distributions of ROH are informative about population …
