“Conservation genomics” encompasses the idea that genome-scale data will improve the
capacity of resource managers to protect species. Although genetic approaches have long …

The distribution of genomic variation across landscapes can provide insights into the complex
interactions between the environment and the genome that influence the distribution of …

Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

The wing patterns of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) are diverse and striking examples
of evolutionary diversification by natural selection 1 , 2 . Lepidopteran wing colour patterns …

Identifying the genomic changes that control morphological variation and understanding how
they generate diversity is a major goal of evolutionary biology. In Heliconius butterflies, a …

Understanding the regulatory landscape of the human genome is a long-standing objective
of modern biology. Using the reference-free alignment across 241 mammalian genomes …

Species persistence can be influenced by the amount, type, and distribution of diversity
across the genome, suggesting a potential relationship between historical demography and …

Pumas are the most widely distributed felid in the Western Hemisphere. Increasingly,
however, human persecution and habitat loss are isolating puma populations. To explore the …

Polar bears are susceptible to climate warming because of their dependence on sea ice,
which is declining rapidly. We present the first evidence for a genetically distinct and …

Identifying the genetic changes driving adaptive variation in natural populations is key to
understanding the origins of biodiversity. The mosaic of mimetic wing patterns in Heliconius …
