Neo-sex chromosomes, genetic diversity and demographic history in the Critically Endangered Raso lark

2019-04-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Small effective population sizes could expose island species to inbreeding and loss of genetic variation. Here we investigate factors shaping genetic diversity in the Raso lark, which has been restricted to a single islet for ~500 years, with a population size of a few hundred. We assembled a reference genome for the related Eurasian skylark and then assessed diversity and demographic history us...
