Novel Graphical Analyses of Runs of Homozygosity among Species and Livestock Breeds by Laura Iacolina, Astrid V. Stronen, Cino Pertoldi, Małgorzata Tokarska, Louise S. Nørgaard, Joaquin Muñoz, Anders Kjærsgaard, Aritz Ruiz-Gonzalez, Stanisław Kamiński, Deirdre C. Purfield

“…We used genomic profiles based on 698 K single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from nine breeds of domestic cattle (Bos taurus) and the European bison (Bison bonasus) to investigate how ROH distributions can be compared within and among species. We focused on two length classes: 0.5–15 Mb to investigate ancient events and >15 Mb to address recent events (approximately three generations). …”

Geographical Gradients in Argentinean Terrestrial Mammal Species Richness and Their Environmental Correlates by Ana L. Márquez, Raimundo Real, Marta S. Kin, José Carlos Guerrero, Betina Galván, A. Márcia Barbosa, Jesús Olivero, L. Javier Palomo, J. Mario Vargas, Enrique Justo

“…We analysed the main geographical trends of terrestrial mammal species richness (SR) in Argentina, assessing how broad-scale environmental variation (defined by climatic and topographic variables) and the spatial form of the country (defined by spatial filters based on spatial eigenvector mapping (SEVM)) influence the kinds and the numbers of mammal species along these geographical trends. …”
