TL;DR: Simulations and empirical results suggest that nucleotide diversity can be accurately estimated from sparse data with as little as 0.2× coverage per line, and demonstrates that short-read sequencing methods provide an efficient means to quantify variation in genome organization and content.
The taxonomic status, distribution and conservation of the lowland anoa Bubalus depressicornis and mountain anoa Bubalus quarlesi
TL;DR: There is an urgent requirement for conservation efforts to protect anoas from hunting and prevent habitat loss in key sites, and complete genetic studies to better determine the number of anoa taxa and Management Units and assess their distribution.

Ecological and historical associations of gene flow in darters (teleostei: percidae)
Thomas F. Turner,Joel C. Trexler +1 more
TL;DR: Darters with high fecundity and small eggs exhibited high gene flow, whereas darters with small clutches and large eggs had low gene flow; the latter combination of life‐history traits primarily is exhibited in species from headwater habitats where parental investment presumably confers survivorship on offspring.

Phylogeography of Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii (Siluriformes - Pimelodidae) in the Amazon Basin offers preliminary evidence for the first case of “homing” for an Amazonian migratory catfish
TL;DR: The entire D-loop of 45 indi- viduals of B. rousseauxii is sequenced, fifteen from each of three different fishing locations along the main channel of the Solimoes-Amazonas System covering a distance of around 2200 km.
Comparative phylogeography of the two pink salmon broodlines: an analysis based on a mitochondrial DNA genealogy.
D. Churikov,Anthony J. Gharrett +1 more
TL;DR: Nested clade analysis of geographical distances showed that the geographical distribution observed for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes resulted from alternating influences of historical range expansions and episodes of restricted dispersal, including the strong subdivision between Asian and Alaskan populations within the even‐year broodline.
