Abstract Current genetic methods of population assessment in conservation biology have been challenged by genome‐scale analyses due to their quantitatively novel insights. These include assessments runs‐of‐homozygosity (ROH), genomic evolutionary rate profiling (GERP), and mutational load. Here, we aim elucidate the relationships between these measures using three divergent ungulates: white‐tailed deer, caribou, mountain goat. The deer is currently expanding, while caribou are midst a...
Migration behaviour is thought to be declining globally in the face of rapid human-mediated environmental change. While many species exhibit individual plasticity their migratory behaviour, not all demonstrate level necessary adjust novel conditions. Selection on heritable behaviours might therefore play an important role maintenance phenotypes for some species. Using GPS and genomic data from 242 individuals (256 animal-years) a pedigree-free quantitative genetic approach, we estimated...
Abstract Under the ecological speciation model, divergent selection acts on differences between populations, gradually creating barriers to gene flow and ultimately leading reproductive isolation. Hybridisation is part of this continuum can both promote inhibit process. Here, we used white‐tailed ( Odocoileus virginianus ) mule deer O. hemionus investigate patterns in hybridizing sister species. We quantified genome‐wide historical introgression performed genome scans look for signatures...
