Genomic Impact of Whaling in North Atlantic Fin Whales

Magnus Wolf et al.

Summary: Large-scale whaling in the 19th and 20th century led to a significant reduction in cetacean populations, but its impact on the genomic diversity of the fin whale remained unclear. This study examined the effect of whaling on the North Atlantic fin whale and found a noticeable drop in population size a century ago. However, the genome-wide heterozygosity and inbreeding indicators did not show significant changes.

Spatiotemporal monitoring of the rare northern dragonhead (Dracocephalum ruyschiana, Lamiaceae) - SNP genotyping and environmental niche modeling herbarium specimens

Malene Nygaard et al.

Summary: The study examines the spatiotemporal genetic change in the northern dragonhead plant species in Europe, focusing on its population decline and habitat loss. Genotyping of old herbarium specimens from Norway provides insight into the historical genetic diversity, showing limited genetic change over time. The genetic structure in Norway differs from populations outside of Norway, highlighting the importance of continued protection for the species. The species has not fully achieved its potential distribution in Norway, preferring warmer and drier habitats.

Rapid evolutionary changes in gene expression in response to climate fluctuations

Elena Hamann et al.

Summary: Abundant evidence suggests rapid evolution in natural populations, with gene expression changes playing a key role in response to environmental fluctuations. The study found that different plant populations showed independent evolutionary trajectories in gene expression changes, with adaptations related to stress responses and flowering time regulation. This highlights the importance of gene expression changes as a mechanism for rapid evolutionary responses and the potential for unique evolutionary trajectories in different populations over time.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: How Conservation Is Failing European Porpoises

Ida Carlen et al.

Summary: Conservation efforts for harbor porpoises in Europe, particularly in the Baltic Proper and Black Sea, are failing, with populations critically endangered and legal protections proving ineffective. Despite calls for action, issues such as public disinterest and political will hinder progress. Recommendations have been made to address threats, but a complex web of commitments and interactions poses challenges for conservation and management efforts.

No leading-edge effect in North Atlantic harbor porpoises: Evolutionary and conservation implications

Yacine Ben Chehida et al.

Summary: This study investigated the population structure and phylogeographic history of harbor porpoises in the North Atlantic using phylogenetics, population genetics, and predictive habitat modeling. The results revealed important departures from random mating and restricted dispersal, forming a highly significant isolation by distance. The findings provide insights into the processes shaping porpoise population structure and offer a framework for designing conservation strategies and forecasting future population evolution.

Selection on ancestral genetic variation fuels repeated ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins

Marie Louis et al.

Summary: The study reveals that repeated evolution in common bottlenose dolphins driven by habitat specialization involved complex evolutionary history and genetic variation, with evidence of recurrent selection over time. Despite constraints, repeated adaptation in long-lived social species can be driven by a combination of ecological opportunities and selection on ancestral genetic variation.

Comparing divergence landscapes from reduced-representation and whole genome resequencing in the yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata) species complex

Stephanie J. Szarmach et al.

Summary: Researchers studying genomic data for non-model organisms face trade-offs between reduced representation methods and whole genome resequencing, impacting marker density, sequencing depth, and multiplexing capabilities. This study compared GBS, ddRAD, and WGS sequencing data for the yellow-rumped warbler species complex, finding that WGS outperformed the other methods in identifying high levels of differentiation on a finer scale. WGS also allowed for the identification of small regions of elevated differentiation, highlighting its advantages over reduced representation methods.

Lungworm infections in harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in the German Wadden Sea between 2006 and 2018, and serodiagnostic tests

Anja Reckendorf et al.

Summary: Pseudaliid lungworm infections and secondary bacterial infections can severely affect the health status of harbour porpoises in German waters. A retrospective analysis of 259 stranded harbour porpoises showed a significant difference in annual lungworm prevalence, with most infections being mild and more common in immature individuals. Different diagnostic methods, including necropsy and serological tests, were evaluated, but no reliable antibody response pattern for lungworm diagnosis was found in harbour porpoises.

Runs of homozygosity in killer whale genomes provide a global record of demographic histories

Andrew D. Foote et al.

Summary: Runs of homozygosity (ROH) reflect population history in killer whales, with shorter ROH indicating high relatedness between populations due to ancestral declines in effective population size, while longer and younger ROH mainly found in low latitude populations and those of known conservation concern. This suggests a potential link between demographic history, inbreeding depression, and the fate of certain killer whale populations.
