Many bumblebee species are suffering from the effects of habitat fragmentation and population isolation. In some cases, populations have lost genetic diversity due to genetic drift and it is possible they are now at heightened risk of extinction. Inbreeding may be particularly c…

Yemen sits at the crossroads of human trade and migration routes critical to understanding many aspects of recent human evolution. An understanding of the population history of Yemen is important for fully appreciating the role that this human corridor has played in human evolut…

Genetic analysis was conducted on experimental and commercial turkey lines using molecular biological techniques to measure genetic parameters. Four experimental lines, eleven commercial lines, and wild turkeys were used in restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysi…

Genomic resources are increasingly valuable in assessing demographic patterns of non-model species, particularly where sister taxa present different histories for comparison. I evaluated population trends and inbreeding status in the near-threatened Falco deiroleucus and their m…
