Abstract Homologous recombination is a meiotic process that generates diversity along the genome and interacts with all evolutionary forces. Despite its importance, studies of landscapes are lacking due to methodological limitations limited data. Frequently used approaches include linkage mapping based on familial data provides sex-specific broad-scale estimates realized inferences population LD reveal more fine scale resolution landscape, albeit dependent effective size selective forces...
The study of insular populations was key in the development evolutionary theory. successful colonisation an island depends on geographic context, and specific characteristics organism island, but also stochastic processes. As a result, apparently identical islands may harbour with contrasting histories. Here, we use whole genome sequences 65 barn owls to investigate patterns inbreeding genetic diversity eastern Mediterranean Sea. We focus Crete Cyprus, similar size, climate distance...
Abstract Homologous recombination is a meiotic process that generates diversity along the genome and interacts with all evolutionary forces. Despite its importance, studies of landscapes are lacking due to methodological limitations dearth appropriate data. Linkage mapping based on familial data gives unbiased sex-specific broad-scale estimates while linkage disequilibrium (LD) inference population provides finer resolution albeit depending effective size acting selective In this study, we...
Abstract Climatic variations subject living species to evolutionary stresses and shape their distributions. Since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) subsequent temperature rise, (re-) colonised higher latitudes. Among mechanisms involved during this process, local adaptation is thought be one of keystones persistence. However, its relative role location in space remain elusive. The Western Palearctic barn owl ( Tyto alba ) recolonised Europe after LGM (from Italian Iberic peninsulas) offers an...
<title>Abstract</title> An important aspect of assessing endangered levels and managing conservation is the study inbreeding status, identifying its origin as well mutation load in wild populations. In this study, we used 502 barn owls from continental island populations across Europe. addition to comparing determined whether due non-random mating or high co-ancestry within population. We show that islands have higher than populations, mainly small effective population sizes rather recent...
A key aspect of assessing the risk extinction/extirpation for a particular wild species or population is status inbreeding, but origin inbreeding and current mutational load are also two crucial factors to consider when determining survival probability population. In this study, we used samples from 502 barn owls continental island populations across Europe, with aim quantifying comparing level between differing demographic histories. addition status, determined whether due non-random mating...
