Demographic changes of a tropical understory bird in naturally patchy montane habitats in southern India
Robin, V. V., Hines, J. E., Nichols, J. D., Katti, M., & Sinha, A. (2021, September 20). BioRXiv, Vol. 9.
TL;DR:
This study examined the effect of patch size and disturbance on different demographic parameters of an understory, threatened, endemic bird, the white-bellied shortwing in the tropical biodiversity hotspot of the Western Ghats in India to provide critical baseline information on the demography of a tropical understory species from this region.

Phylogeography and population genetics of a widespread cold-adapted ant, Prenolepis imparis
TL;DR:
High support for five major geographic lineages and lack of evidence of contemporary gene flow indicate in situ diversification across the species’ range, probably influenced by glacial cycles of the late Quaternary.

Ancient and modem genomes unravel the evolutionary history of the rhinoceros family
CELL, 184(19), 4874-+.
MeSH headings : Animals; Demography; Evolution, Molecular; Gene Flow; Genetic Variation; Genome; Geography; Heterozygote; Homozygote; Host Specificity; Markov Chains; Mutation / genetics; Perissodactyla / genetics; Phylogeny; Species Specificity; Time Factors
TL;DR:
It is suggested that while low genetic diversity is a long-term feature of the Rhinocerotidae, it has been particularly exacerbated recently, likely reflecting recent anthropogenic-driven population declines.
