Abstract The genomic era has led to an unprecedented increase in the availability of genome‐wide data for a broad range taxa. Wildlife management strives make use these vast resources enable refined genetic assessments that enhance biodiversity conservation. However, as new platforms emerge, problems remain adapting usually complex approaches genotyping noninvasively collected wildlife samples. Here, we provide practical guidelines standardized development reduced single nucleotide...
Cnidarians (corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish) produce toxins that play central roles in key ecological processes, including predation, defense, competition, being the oldest extant venomous animal lineage. Cnidaria small cysteine-rich proteins (SCRiPs) were first family of neurotoxins detected stony corals, one ocean’s most crucial foundation species. Yet, their molecular evolution remains poorly understood. Moreover, lack a clear classification system has hindered establishment an...
Abstract Hybridisation between wild taxa and their domestic congeners is a significant conservation issue. Domestic species frequently outnumber relatives in population size distribution may therefore genetically swamp the native species. The European wildcat ( Felis silvestris ) has been shown to hybridise with cats catus ). Previously suggested spatially divergent introgression levels have not confirmed on scale due differences applied methods assess hybridisation of wildcat. We analysed...
