Whole-genome resequencing landscape of adaptive evolution in Relict gull (Larus relictus).

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The relict gull (Larus relictus, Charadriiformes, Laridae) classified as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List is defined as a first-class national protected bird in China. However, our knowledge of the evolutionary history of L. relictus is limited. Here, we performed whole-genome resequencing of L. relictus (n = 14) and L. brunnicephalus (n = 3) to explore the genetic relationships and population...
