Chromosome fusion affects genetic diversity and evolutionary turnover of functional loci but consistently depends on chromosome size
Major changes in chromosome number and structure are linked to a series of evolutionary
phenomena, including intrinsic barriers to gene flow or suppression of recombination due to …

High genetic diversity and low differentiation reflect the ecological versatility of the African leopard
Large carnivores are generally sensitive to ecosystem changes because their specialized
diet and position at the top of the trophic pyramid is associated with small population sizes …

Island songbirds as windows into evolution in small populations
Due to their limited ranges and inherent isolation, island species have long been recognized
as crucial systems for tackling a range of evolutionary questions, including in the early study …

Genomic adaptations and evolutionary history of the extinct scimitar-toothed cat, Homotherium latidens
Homotherium was a genus of large-bodied scimitar-toothed cats, morphologically distinct
from any extant felid species, that went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene [1–4]. They …
