Open AccessGene flow and an anomaly zone complicate phylogenomic inference in a rapidly radiated avian family (Prunellidae)
Resolving the phylogeny of rapidly radiating lineages presents a challenge when building the Tree of Life. An Old World avian family Prunellidae (Accentors) comprises twelve species that rapidly diversified at...

Species-specific traits mediate avian demographic responses under past climate change
Anticipating species’ responses to environmental change is a pressing mission in biodiversity conservation. Despite decades of research investigating how climate change may affect population sizes, historical ...

Dynamic evolutionary history and gene content of sex chromosomes across diverse songbirds
Songbirds have a species number close to that of mammals and are classic models for studying speciation and sexual selection. Sex chromosomes are hotspots of both processes, yet their evolutionary history in s...

Open AccessRed fox genome assembly identifies genomic regions associated with tame and aggressive behaviours
Strains of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) with markedly different behavioural phenotypes have been developed in the famous long-term selective breeding programme known as the Russian farm-fox experiment. Here we sequenc...

Open AccessReference genome of wild goat (capra aegagrus) and sequencing of goat breeds provide insight into genic basis of goat domestication
Domestic goats (Capra hircus) have been selected to play an essential role in agricultural production systems, since being domesticated from their wild progenitor, bezoar (Capra aegagrus). A detailed understandin...
