Uncovering the Genomic Landscape of Mycobacterium bovis in Wales Open
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis, is one of the most pressing animal health issues in Wales today. It negatively impacts cattle health, affects profitability and trade, and can decimate years of geneti…

Low genetic variation and strong genetic structure across a range of geographical scales in European smelt (<span><i>Osmerus eperlanus</i></span> L.) Open
Populations of anadromous European smelt ( Osmerus eperlanus L.) are declining across its range with mitigation efforts for this ecologically important species hindered by a lack of demographic information. Here, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) …

Genomic analysis of <span>NE</span> Atlantic sardine (<i>Sardina pilchardus</i>) reveals reduced variation in a recently established North Sea population and directs reconsideration of management units Open
The European sardine ( Sardina pilchardus ) is under intense fishing pressure and exhibits distributional/abundance shifts linked to environmental change. The current understanding of population demographics needed for sustainable manageme…

Genetic analysis of <i>Octopus cyanea</i> reveals high gene flow in the <span>South‐West</span> Indian Ocean Open
Octopus cyanea (Gray, 1849), abundant in the South‐West Indian Ocean (SWIO), constitutes a vital resource for both subsistence and commercial fisheries. However, despite this socioeconomic importance, and recent indications of overfishing,…

Seasonal development of a tidal mixing front drives shifts in community structure and diversity of bacterioplankton Open
Bacterioplankton underpin biogeochemical cycles and an improved understanding of the patterns and drivers of variability in their distribution is needed to determine their wider functioning and importance. Sharp environmental gradients and…

Geographically extensive larval surveys reveal an unexpected scarcity of primary vector mosquitoes in a region of persistent malaria transmission in western Zambia Open
BackgroundThe Barotse floodplains of the upper Zambezi River and its tributaries are a highly dynamic environment, with seasonal flooding and transhumance presenting a shifting mosaic of potential larval habitat and human and livestock blo…

Genetic population structure and tools for the management of European sprat (Sprattus sprattus) Open
This study used RAD-seq-derived SNPs to explore population connectivity, local adaptation, and individual assignment in European sprat (Sprattus sprattus) and inform the alignment of management units with biological processes. FST, cluster…

Deep phylogeographic structure may indicate cryptic species within the Sparid genus <i>Spondyliosoma</i> Open
Two geographically nonoverlapping species are currently described within the sparid genus Spondyliosoma : Spondyliosoma cantharus (Black Seabream) occurring across Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic waters from NW Europe to Angola and S. e…

Genetic analysis provides insights into species distribution and population structure in East Atlantic horse mackerel (<i>Trachurus trachurus</i> and <i>T. capensis</i>) Open
Two sister species of horse mackerel ( Trachurus trachurus and T. capensis ) are described that are intensively harvested in East Atlantic waters. To address long‐standing uncertainties as to their respective geographical ranges, overlap a…

The complete mitochondrial genome of record-breaking migrant Arctic tern <i>(Sterna paradisaea)</i> Open
The analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) base composition, codon usage, and genome arrangement patterns can provide insight into metabolic pathways and evolutionary history. Here, we report on the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome…

Isolation and characterisation of the first microsatellite markers for the European stag beetle, Lucanus cervus (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) Open
The European stag beetle, Lucanus cervus, is recognised as a flagship species for biodiversity conservation. Although the species is widely distributed across Europe declines have led to it being granted protected or endangered status in a…
