A SNP chip to detect introgression in wildcats allows accurate genotyping of single hairs
- B. Nussberger, P. Wandeler, G. Camenisch
- Biology
- European Journal of Wildlife Research
- 4 March 2014
Genotyping non-invasively collected samples is challenging. Nevertheless, genetic monitoring of elusive species like the European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) mainly relies on such samples.… Expand
Microsatellite diversity of the Nordic type of goats in relation to breed conservation: how relevant is pure ancestry?
- J. A. Lenstra, J. Tigchelaar, +94 authors S. Zundel
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of animal breeding and genetics…
- 1 February 2017
In the last decades, several endangered breeds of livestock species have been re-established effectively. However, the successful revival of the Dutch and Danish Landrace goats involved crossing with… Expand
Bigger Is Fitter? Quantitative Genetic Decomposition of Selection Reveals an Adaptive Evolutionary Decline of Body Mass in a Wild Rodent Population
- T. Bonnet, P. Wandeler, G. Camenisch, E. Postma
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS biology
- 1 January 2017
In natural populations, quantitative trait dynamics often do not appear to follow evolutionary predictions. Despite abundant examples of natural selection acting on heritable traits, conclusive… Expand
Pedigree-based inbreeding coefficient explains more variation in fitness than heterozygosity at 160 microsatellites in a wild bird population
- P. Nietlisbach, L. Keller, +4 authors E. Postma
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 15 March 2017
Although the pedigree-based inbreeding coefficient F predicts the expected proportion of an individual's genome that is identical-by-descent (IBD), heterozygosity at genetic markers captures… Expand
Bigger Is Fitter? Quantitative Genetic Decomposition of Selection Reveals an Adaptive Evolutionary Decline of Body Mass in a Wild Rodent Population
- T. Bonnet, P. Wandeler, G. Camenisch, E. Postma
- Biology
- 4 November 2016
In natural populations, quantitative trait dynamics often do not appear to follow evolutionary predictions: Despite abundant examples of natural selection acting on heritable traits, conclusive… Expand
A microsatellite‐based linkage map for song sparrows (Melospiza melodia)
- P. Nietlisbach, G. Camenisch, Thomas Bucher, J. Slate, L. Keller, Erik Postma
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology resources
- 1 November 2015
Although linkage maps are important tools in evolutionary biology, their availability for wild populations is limited. The population of song sparrows (Melospiza melodia) on Mandarte Island, Canada,… Expand
Monitoring of Wild birds for Newcastle Disease Virus in Switzerland Using Real Time RT-PCR
- G. Camenisch, R. Bandli, R. Hoop
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of wildlife diseases
- 1 July 2008
Wild birds are considered to be the natural reservoir of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV; avian paramyxovirus-1) causing Newcastle disease, and are often suspected to be involved in outbreaks in… Expand
Urban colonization through multiple genetic lenses: The city‐fox phenomenon revisited
- Alexandra L. DeCandia, K. Brzeski, +5 authors B. vonHoldt
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology and evolution
- 31 January 2019
Abstract Urbanization is driving environmental change on a global scale, creating novel environments for wildlife to colonize. Through a combination of stochastic and selective processes,… Expand
Dense sampling of bird diversity increases power of comparative genomics
- S. Feng, Josefin Stiller, +147 authors Guojie Zhang
- Medicine, Geography
- Nature
- 1 November 2020
Whole-genome sequencing projects are increasingly populating the tree of life and characterizing biodiversity1–4. Sparse taxon sampling has previously been proposed to confound phylogenetic… Expand
Gene flow counteracts the effect of drift in a Swiss population of snow voles fluctuating in size
- V. García-Navas, T. Bonnet, Dominique Waldvogel, P. Wandeler, G. Camenisch, E. Postma
- Biology
- 1 November 2015
Genetic monitoring has emerged as a useful tool to better understand evolutionary processes acting within and among natural populations. Longitudinal studies allow the examination of temporal changes… Expand
