Abstract: Understanding the colonisation process in zooplankton is crucial for successful restoration of aquatic ecosystems. Here, we analyzed the clonal and genetic structure of the cyclical parthenogenetic rotifer Brachionus plicatilis by following populations established in new… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.70072
Abstract: Remnant populations of endangered species often have complex demographic histories associated with human impact. This can present challenges for conservation as the genetic status of these populations are often a-typical of natural populations, and may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13073-022-01035-9
Abstract: Background The Colombian population, as well as those in other Latin American regions, arose from a recent tri-continental admixture among Native Americans, Spanish invaders, and enslaved Africans, all of whom passed through a population bottleneck… read more here.
