1. Edge-Rich Landscapes Promote Genetic Diversity While Arable Land Restricts It: Landscape-Genomic Patterns Across Three Insect Species in an Agriculture-Dominated Grassland Mosaic.
PMID:日期:2026-10-01Habitat loss and agricultural intensification are major drivers of insect decline, yet their consequences for intraspecific genetic diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we used landscape genomics to compare genome-wide diversity, population differentiation and spatial patterns of gene flow in two butterfly species (, ) and one bush-cricket species () sampled across an agriculturally dominated landscape in southern Germany. The study region consists of a heterogeneous mosaic of extensively managed open grasslands maintained through conservation initiatives and embedded within intensively managed grasslands, arable fields and forest patches. High-resolution genomic data combined with broad geographic sampling revealed pronounced interspecific differences. The highly mobile, widespread and generalist exhibited the highest diversity and weakest population genetic structure, the moderately widespread showed intermediate levels, whereas the comparatively less mobile orthopteran displayed the lowest genetic diversity and strongest population subdivision. Across the three species, genetic diversity was positively associated with edge density and showed a tendency to decline with increasing arable cover, indicating that landscape configuration influences genetic variation more strongly than habitat area alone. Effective migration surfaces showed broadly shared spatial patterns, with lower effective migration in intensively farmed areas and higher effective migration in grassland-rich parts of the study region. Together, our results highlight that landscape heterogeneity and species-specific ecological characteristics jointly determine genetic resilience in insects. Our findings support conserving networks of structurally diverse, well-connected grasslands and reducing homogeneous arable matrices to help maintain genetic diversity and evolutionary potential in insect communities.

2. {"_":"Compounding Impacts-Genomic Exploration of the Potential Effect of Domestic Introgression on Climate Adaptation in Atlantic Salmon ().","i":["Salmo salar"]}
PMID:日期:2026-09-29Predicting population, species, and community responses to climate change is critical for the successful management of wild ecosystems. However, climate change does not act alone. Interactions among climate change and other anthropogenic threats could significantly complicate predictions of global change yet have rarely been examined. (Atlantic salmon) are an increasingly at-risk northern diadromous fish, exposed to multiple threats including a changing climate and introgression from net-pen aquaculture escapees. Introgression from aquaculture escapees could alter wild salmon climate change responses through the introduction of maladaptive climate-associated variation. Here we conducted a genome-environment association analysis for wild Atlantic salmon throughout North America ( = 5208 samples) using a 220 K SNP array and explored differences between wild and aquaculture salmon at climate-associated loci. Environmental associations suggest a polygenic basis to climate adaptation which includes a large chromosomal translocation, previously implicated in climate-associated adaptation. Genomic differences between wild and domestic salmon generally increase with increasing geographic distance from the southern source location of North American salmon aquaculture. Wild salmon populations differed more genetically from aquaculture salmon ( ~ two-fold higher) at climate-associated loci than genome-wide, suggesting introgression may erode climate adaptation in the wild, and further amplify the negative impacts of climate change on these populations. The results suggest a more encompassing view of anthropogenic impacts which explicitly considers interactions among environmental and anthropogenic threats is needed to better understand and conserve wild populations in a changing world.

3. {"_":"Introgression and Potential Outbreeding Depression Following Anthropogenically-Induced Secondary Contact Between Anadromous and Resident Atlantic Salmon ().","i":["Salmo salar"]}
PMID:日期:2026-09-25The evolution of alternative migratory strategies can lead to the establishment of ecologically and genetically distinct morphs; however, the forces that maintain these differences are often unclear. Here we assessed how migratory strategy may affect gene flow and adaptation in Atlantic Salmon () in a setting where a migratory barrier was removed, and migratory and non-migratory salmon have been brought into contact through a program to initiate a migratory population. We used whole genome sequencing to characterize genetic variation in resident and anadromous salmon in this experimental system, as well as in the original source of the migratory individuals and a proximate source of strays into the system. Our results suggest that resident and anadromous salmon populations are highly divergent genetically, but that introgression from the resident population into the introduced migratory morph is widespread. However, despite a general trend of introgression into the migratory form, localized genomic regions appear resistant to gene flow, potentially highlighting adaptive divergence between resident and anadromous salmon. Additionally, we compared how the proportion of ancestry associated with migratory type changed between out migrating smolts and returning adults across two cohorts. Our results show a significant reduction in resident ancestry consistent with outbreeding depression during the marine migratory phase. Genomic comparisons between smolts and adults also identify several localized regions potentially under selection in the marine environment, possibly related to immune function. Together, these results suggest that introgression between divergent migratory forms in this system is unidirectional and is resulting in outbreeding depression and reduced migratory success. In the context of supplementation, our results suggest that enhancement activities aimed at boosting anadromous Atlantic Salmon populations could be impacted by introgression with resident populations. Additionally, interbreeding may present a demographic threat to resident populations, as anadromous-resident hybrids appear to follow a migratory life history.

4. {"_":"Incorporating Phylogeography and SDM Projection to Inform Conservation Efforts of the Foundation Seaweed sensu lato in the North Pacific Under Climate Change.","i":["Gloiopeltis furcata"]}
PMID:日期:2026-09-23Understanding the impact of past climate events on population genetic structuring and range shifts may facilitate predictions of how species will respond to future climate change. Such integrative effort, however, remain rare for the North Pacific benthic ecosystem. Here, we obtained mtDNA 1 and cpDNA L sequences of 85 populations of the foundation macroalga sensu lato (s.l.) in the North Pacific to estimate its lineage structuring and phylogeographic connectivity. We found that s.l. harbored high and cryptic lineage diversity, and its present-day biogeographic patterns are mostly attributed to extensive vicariance and ocean-currents mediated dispersal events. In particular, the southwestern Japanese Archipelago and southern Korea potentially served as the center of ancestral persistence during the maximum ice sheet expansion, characterized by concurrent demographic contractions of lineages. We further applied projection-based species distribution models (SDMs) and detected consistent habitat suitability contraction in low latitude regions (20°N-40°N) (e.g., the Bohai Sea, the southern East China Sea, the southern Japan-Pacific coastline) and expansion in high latitude regions (40°N-60°N) (e.g., the southern Sakhalin Island, the northern Sea of Japan, the southern Kamchatka Peninsula and the Alaska Peninsula) under future moderate (SSP2-4.5) and high (SSP5-8.5) emission scenarios. These results demonstrate that integrating phylogeographic information (e.g., the identification of ancestral persistence areas and unique populations harboring rare allelic variation or high endemism) with SDMs-based assessments of climate change impacts, offers a powerful framework for prioritizing conservation units in marine benthic ecosystems under future climate change.

5. {"_":"Adaptive Diversification of the Locus Drives Genomic Architecture of Growth in Thai Clariid Catfish.","i":["Mstnb"]}
PMID:日期:2026-09-23The production of clariid catfish in Thai aquaculture depends on culture of the native species ( and ) and introduced African catfish (). Particularly, hybridization with has improved productivity but raised significant conservation concerns. These lineages show distinct growth variations; however, the underlying genetic factors remain uncharacterized. We performed a comprehensive genomic assessment of the myostatin-b () gene in 535 individuals comprising 19 Thai populations. The study design involved a novel integration of high-throughput sequencing, structural modeling, and multi-locus analysis. We identified eight novel alleles defined by 19 variable sites within exon 1. The observed diversity challenges the paradigm of extreme sequence conservation that typically occurs in vertebrate Myostatin. Although Bayesian phylogenetics showed intermingled allelic lineages, an integrated "growth-gene pool" approach that combined and polymorphisms resolved a robust species-level split ( = 2) and hierarchical sub-structuring ( = 6). Selection analyses identified significant adaptive diversification ( = 1.857). Codon-level models highlighted Site 95 as a primary target of pervasive diversifying selection. Moreover, a nonsense mutation that resulted in a premature stop codon was identified as the mechanism underlying the functional modulation of growth traits. These findings provide a high-resolution molecular toolkit for marker-assisted selection and invasive species monitoring, which would enhance the sustainability of clariid aquaculture and protect native biodiversity against the risks of anthropogenic hybridization.

6. {"_":"Assisted Gene Flow Yields Physiologically Robust With Novel Allelic and Transcriptomic Profiles.","i":["Acropora palmata"]}
PMID:日期:2026-09-23Assisted gene flow (AGF) is a conservation approach that facilitates the spread of alleles and may accelerate the recovery of genetically depauperate populations. The threatened Caribbean coral is approaching regional extinction within the western Atlantic partly due to increasing water temperatures associated with global climate change. Previously, AGF was conducted by crossing gametes collected from three regions (Curaçao-CU, Florida-FL, and Puerto Rico-PR) characterized by contrasting temperature regimes and low gene flow among them. Here, we compared the physiology of these AGF cohorts in comparison to purebred Florida and Curaçao cohorts under ambient and high temperature conditions. Exposure to high temperatures resulted in few physiological changes, likely because the corals hosted the thermally tolerant algal symbiont, . However, the purebred cohorts grew significantly faster than both AGF cohorts. Like the phenotypic responses, gene expression changes in response to heat stress were muted overall. However, AGF cohorts deviated from the expected mid-parent value across dozens of genes, representing novel gene expression patterns. Importantly, AGF crosses harbored 879 private alleles that were previously not recovered in representative genets from Florida. These findings suggest that corals created using AGF have similar physiology to purebreds, carry novel alleles, and represent novel gene expression patterns that carry important conservation values which could be integrated into the functionally extinct population in Florida.

7. A Comparative Analysis of Aging Across Causes of Death.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01Although there is huge variation in how mortality changes with age across species, in humans, all-causes mortality increases at a relatively constant rate across populations and time. However, individuals die due to specific causes that include extrinsic and intrinsic sources. Here, we compared the rate at which mortality increases with age (i.e., the rate of aging) for the causes of death supposedly referring to extrinsic (infectious and parasitic diseases) and intrinsic sources (cardiovascular diseases and malignant neoplasm) in 12 human populations. Given that individuals are exposed to infectious agents across their entire lifespan, it is straightforward to expect a shallower rate of aging for infectious compared to cardiovascular diseases and malignant neoplasm. However, infectious and noninfectious diseases might target the same tissues/organs and tissue-specific repair mechanisms may strongly affect the disease severity. We, therefore, also compared the rate of aging for transmissible and nontransmissible diseases targeting the same tissues/organs. Contrary to the pattern observed when comparing infectious and noninfectious diseases overall, we found that diseases with shared target organs had similar rate of aging, whatever their etiology. We went a step further by assessing the changes in the distribution of cause-specific mortality across ages (i.e., lifespan equality), between 1955 and 2020, and by investigating whether they were accounted for by changes in early-life mortality, adult mortality or the rate of aging. This analysis showed that temporal changes in lifespan equality were essentially driven by changes in early-life mortality, with modest or almost no contribution from changes in adult mortality or the rate of aging. Overall, these results show that the rate at which mortality increases with age is relatively invariant for diseases targeting the same tissues/organs, suggesting that shared tolerance mechanisms, independently from the etiology of the disease, might be important drivers of age-dependent mortality schedules.

8. Quantifying the Evolutionary Potential for Delta Smelt Persistence in a Warming Habitat.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01Long-term persistence of managed species will depend, in part, on whether the species harbors the physiological or genetic potential to adjust to warming temperatures, and whether relevant genetic variation is modified by management practices. The critically endangered Delta Smelt () is intensively managed, but little is known about the presence of genetic variation for resistance to elevated temperature. Using a pedigree and whole genome sequencing data, we characterized the genetic basis of CTMax (as a metric of upper thermal tolerance) across control and elevated rearing temperatures, alongside covarying traits (body size and degree of hatchery ancestry). Warmer rearing temperatures increased CTMax through acclimation but also resulted in reduced additive genetic variation for the trait. We observed modest heritability for CTMax at rearing temperatures of 15°C and 18°C (0.26 and 0.16, respectively), but only a limited number of loci were identified that had consistent effects on CTMax across rearing temperatures. Instead, the genomic basis of thermal tolerance was highly dependent on rearing temperature (i.e., many loci detected with a GxE effect). This temperature-dependent genomic architecture is consistent with our finding that additive genetic variation for CTMax was reduced under warmer rearing conditions, indicating a potential constraint on adaptive evolutionary change. The influence of domestication selection was indicated by changes in allele frequency, and divergence in upper thermal tolerance and plasticity, between low and high hatchery ancestry groups. Minimal overlap between loci associated with domestication and CTMax suggests that these traits possess separate genetic underpinnings. Knowledge of genetic variation supporting ecologically relevant physiological variation may be useful for captive management and may inform supplementation of fish to the wild in an ever-warming environment.

9. {"_":"Genome Wide Structural Variants Provide Insights Into Population Structure and Genetic Divergence in Pacific White Shrimp () Breeding Populations.","i":["Penaeus vannamei"]}
PMID:日期:2026-08-24Structural variants (SVs) are a major yet underused source of adaptive variation in aquaculture. We built a genome-wide SV atlas for 180 from six commercial breeding populations and discovered 1,159,046 SVs, with uneven chromosomal distributions and multi-type hotspots. Over 63.53% of SVs overlapped repeats-especially simple sequence repeats, DNA transposons, and LINEs. SV and SNP densities were highly correlated. Across populations, 482 k SVs were shared and 145,623 were singletons; the fraction of deletions increased from shared to singleton classes. BMK and KH harbored more singletons than SIS, RH, and CP, indicating greater divergence. PCA and ADMIXTURE recovered three major clusters and revealed the substructure in RH, mirroring SNP analyses. Selection scans identified 78-193 sweep windows per population encompassing 38-161 candidate genes. These genes were predominantly enriched in population-specific processes such as chromatin regulation, meiotic recombination, membrane-associated functions, suggesting that structural variants may contribute to divergence in reproductive, metabolic, and structural pathways across breeding programs. Nevertheless, 10 genes showed parallel signals in over 3 populations; many carry short deletions likely affecting regulatory or coding elements. Together, these results show that genome architecture and domestication jointly shape the shrimp SV landscape; that SVs alone robustly resolve population history; and that a small set of recurrent, deletion-bearing regulatory genes may underpin convergent improvement. The SV map and candidate loci provide diagnostic markers for germplasm tracing and candidate loci for marker-assisted or genomic selection in breeding.

10. Tracing Species Boundaries Through Genomic Baits: Diagnostic SNP Panels for Genotyping Orchid Pollinaria.
PMID:日期:2026-08-24is one of the largest angiosperm families, with extensive floral morphological diversity, complex pollination systems, and frequent hybridization, which complicate species delimitation. Target capture offers a scalable alternative to whole-genome sequencing for phylogenomic and ecological applications, but operational thresholds for reliable species identification, particularly from reduced or degraded single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) datasets, remain poorly quantified. We developed the 20KOrchidbaits, a kit of 20,000 nuclear and 400 plastid baits, specifically designed for by using already available () and recently sequenced () orchid genomes. We then tested the kit for assessing phylogenetic relationships and pollinaria assignment in , a young and fast-evolving neotropical orchid genus. In silico tests of the 20KOrchidbaits kit showed high recovery efficiency for nuclear baits, particularly in the subfamilies Apostasioideae, Orchidoideae, and Epidendroideae. The kit also showed robust plastid performance (85.9% average mapping). Applying 20KOrchidbaits to members confirmed its high recovery efficiency and showed a strong ability to disclose phylogenetic relationships and identify species-specific SNPs. Using the 20KOrchidbaits kit for pollinaria genotyping, the pollinaria were accurately assigned to their source orchid species, both with the full dataset of species-specific SNPs and with subsets of it. The 20KOrchidbaits provide a versatile toolkit for gathering species resolution even in rapidly radiating orchid clades. This tool also represents the first reliable species-level identification of orchid pollinarium with target capture, surpassing traditional barcode markers.
