Conservation genomics reveals low connectivity among populations of threatened roseate terns (Sterna dougallii) in the Atlantic Basin
While the effects of barriers to dispersal such as population declines, habitat fragmentation, and geographic distance have been well-documented in...

Population genomics of the ‘rediscovered’ threatened New Zealand storm petrel (Fregetta maoriana) support a single breeding colony
The New Zealand storm petrel (NZSP; Fregetta maoriana ), thought to be extinct for over 150 years, was rediscovered in 2003. In 2013, a single NZSP...

A new classification of mammalian uni-male multi-female groups based on the fundamental principles governing inter- and intrasexual relationships
Polygyny is the most common mating system in mammals, and many species form uni-male multi-female groups (UM-MF units). Polygynous systems are...
