The Genomic Landscape of Post-Black Death Epidemics in Northern Europe and the Caucasus

Cameron Robert Ferguson, Åshild J. Vågene‬, Marcel Keller, Caroline Ahlström Arcini et autres

Abstract One of the most devastating events in human history, the Black Death (c.1347-1353), marked the beginning of the Second Plague Pandemic. After initially receding, plague returned in intermittent outbreaks throughout Europe, beginning with the pestis secunda . Despite its significance, the …

Genomic impact of the second plague pandemic on three human populations

Xiaodong Liu, Kristjan H. S. Moore, Sigríður Sunna Ebenesersdóttir, Caroline Ahlström Arcini et autres

Abstract The second plague pandemic (early 14th – early 19th centuries), caused by Yersinia pestis, had a profound demographic, socio-economic and cultural impact across Eurasia and North Africa. Many regions in Europe and the Middle East are estimated to have lost 40–60% …

Conservation rescued the Mauritius kestrel from extinction but not from genomic erosion

Xuejing Wang, Anna Stuart, Ken J. Norris, Sion Henshaw et autres

Abstract Conservation can prevent species extinction via demographic recovery, yet it remains debated whether this translates into genomic recovery and restored fitness. The Mauritius kestrel ( Falco punctatus ) declined to four known wild birds in 1974 before intensive management recovered the …

Founder effects drive high mitochondrial dN/dS in island rails

Kees Wanders, Zeynep Oğuzhan, Martin Stervander, Rebecca T. Kimball et autres

Insular (island-limited) populations typically show signatures of weak purifying selection, indicating high genetic load and reduced fitness compared with mainland populations. However, the source of this pattern is often unclear-it may reflect residual signatures from a temporary period of small effective population …

Genomic Erosion Through the Lens of Comparative Genomics

Xuejing Wang, Claudia Fontsere, Ximena Alva Caballero, Sascha Dreyer et autres

Abstract Loss of genetic diversity threatens species survival, yet the dynamics of such loss and species’ responses thereof can vary widely depending on their evolutionary histories, life-history traits and demographic trajectories. Comparative genomics offers a powerful framework to explore the dynamics of …

Biogeography in the deep: Hierarchical population genomic structure of two beaked whale species

Aubrie B. Onoufriou, Oscar E. Gaggiotti, Natacha Aguilar de Soto, Morgan L. McCarthy et autres

The deep sea is the largest ecosystem on Earth, yet little is known about the processes driving patterns of genetic diversity in its inhabitants. Here, we investigated the macro- and microevolutionary processes shaping genomic population structure and diversity in two poorly understood, …

Speciation in the deep: genomics and morphology reveal a new species of beaked whaleMesoplodon eueu

Emma L. Carroll, Michael R. McGowen, Morgan L. McCarthy, Felix Georg Marx et autres

The deep sea has been described as the last major ecological frontier, as much of its biodiversity is yet to be discovered and described. Beaked whales (ziphiids) are among the most visible inhabitants of the deep sea, due to their large size …
