Phytoplankton blooms structure primary production and food‐web dynamics in the Gulf of Alaska, yet their response to recent warming and marine heatwaves (MHWs) remains poorly described. Using a parametric Gaussian framework applied to 21 years of satellite chlorophyll a (Chl a ), this study classified daily Chl a timeseries into double‐bloom, single spring‐bloom, single fall‐bloom, and no‐bloom regimes and related these to lar...

Phylogeographic studies uncover hidden pathways of divergence and inform conservation. Brown bears ( Ursus arctos ) have one of the broadest distributions of all land mammals, ranging from Eurasia to North America, and are an important model for evolutionary studies. Although several whole genomes were available for individuals from North America, Europe and Asia, limited whole‐genome data were available from Central Asia, inc...

Genetic structure in host species is often used to predict disease spread. However, host and pathogen genetic variation may be incongruent. Understanding landscape factors that have either concordant or divergent influence on host and pathogen genetic structure is crucial for wildlife disease management. Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) was first observed in 1996 and has spread throughout almost the entire Tasmanian devil ge...

Identifying the genetic architecture of complex phenotypes is a central goal of modern biology, particularly for disease‐related traits. Genome‐wide association methods are a classical approach for identifying the genomic basis of variation in disease phenotypes, but such analyses are particularly challenging in natural populations due to sample size difficulties. Extensive mark–recapture data, strong linkage disequilibrium an...
