key evolutionary parameter. Ne can substantially depart from census sizes of present-day breeding populations (NC) as a result of past demographic changes, variation in life-history traits and selection at linked sites. Using genome-wide data we estimated the long-term coalescent Ne for 17 pinniped species represented by 36 population samples (total n = 458 individuals). Ne estimates ranged from 8,936 to 91,178, were highly consistent within (sub)species and showed a strong positive correlation with NC ([Formula: see text] = 0.59; P = 0.0002). Ne/NC ratios were low (mean, 0.31; median, 0.13) and co-varied strongly with demographic history and, to a lesser degree, with species' ecological and life-history variables such as breeding habitat. Residual variation in Ne/NC, after controlling for past demographic fluctuations, contained information about recent population size changes during the Anthropocene. Specifically, species of conservation concern typically had positive residuals indicative of a smaller contemporary NC than would be expected from their long-term Ne. This study highlights the value of comparative population genomic analyses for gauging the evolutionary processes governing genetic variation in natural populations, and provides a framework for identifying populations deserving closer conservation attention.", "doi": "10.1038/s41559-020-1215-5", "pmid": "32514167", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s41559-020-1215-5"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-09-23T07:39:26.305Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T07:39:26.709Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "d7d4566eb66b48818f6d07913bfe817d", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/d7d4566eb66b48818f6d07913bfe817d.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/d7d4566eb66b48818f6d07913bfe817d"}}, "title": "RAD Sequencing and a Hybrid Antarctic Fur Seal Genome Assembly Reveal Rapidly Decaying Linkage Disequilibrium, Global Population Structure and Evidence for Inbreeding.", "authors": [{"family": "Humble", "given": "Emily", "initials": "E", "orcid": "0000-0001-6841-1269", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/a140adb24cce4b34aba895ddffe989d2.json"}}, {"family": "Dasmahapatra", "given": "Kanchon K", "initials": "KK", "orcid": "0000-0002-2840-7019", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/1c06ca4264374b3fb9445a18cb65f339.json"}}, {"family": "Martinez-Barrio", "given": "Alvaro", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Greg\u00f3rio", "given": "In\u00eas", "initials": "I"}, {"family": "Forcada", "given": "Jaume", "initials": "J", "orcid": "0000-0002-2115-0150", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/1ba12449a9ea4156b979c48e9abbce32.json"}}, {"family": "Polikeit", "given": "Ann-Christin", "initials": "AC"}, {"family": "Goldsworthy", "given": "Simon D", "initials": "SD", "orcid": "0000-0003-4988-9085", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/50be7ac4262541058529687e66cebb41.json"}}, {"family": "Goebel", "given": "Michael E", "initials": "ME"}, {"family": "Kalinowski", "given": "J\u00f6rn", "initials": "J", "orcid": "0000-0002-9052-1998", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/9d03e1fcdec647299ba280253635ca0e.json"}}, {"family": "Wolf", "given": "Jochen B W", "initials": "JBW", "orcid": "0000-0002-2958-5183", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/d1004f304db34314a61ca1fa0ee028b2.json"}}, {"family": "Hoffman", "given": "Joseph I", "initials": "JI", "orcid": "0000-0001-5895-8949", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/d1d6ea09da6e4a7a9b6a033ab10e8825.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2018-07-31", "journal": {"title": "G3", "issn": "2160-1836", "volume": "8", "issue": "8", "pages": "2709-2722", "issn-l": "2160-1836"}, "abstract": "Recent advances in high throughput sequencing have transformed the study of wild organisms by facilitating the generation of high quality genome assemblies and dense genetic marker datasets. These resources have the potential to significantly advance our understanding of diverse phenomena at the level of species, populations and individuals, ranging from patterns of synteny through rates of linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay and population structure to individual inbreeding. Consequently, we used PacBio sequencing to refine an existing Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) genome assembly and genotyped 83 individuals from six populations using restriction site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing. The resulting hybrid genome comprised 6,169 scaffolds with an N50 of 6.21 Mb and provided clear evidence for the conservation of large chromosomal segments between the fur seal and dog (Canis lupus familiaris). Focusing on the most extensively sampled population of South Georgia, we found that LD decayed rapidly, reaching the background level by around 400 kb, consistent with other vertebrates but at odds with the notion that fur seals experienced a strong historical bottleneck. We also found evidence for population structuring, with four main Antarctic island groups being resolved. Finally, appreciable variance in individual inbreeding could be detected, reflecting the strong polygyny and site fidelity of the species. Overall, our study contributes important resources for future genomic studies of fur seals and other pinnipeds while also providing a clear example of how high throughput sequencing can generate diverse biological insights at multiple levels of organization.", "doi": "10.1534/g3.118.200171", "pmid": "29954843", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC6071602"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "g3.118.200171"}], "notes": [], "created": "2019-01-17T13:56:42.015Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T10:21:44.718Z"}]}
