SamBada in Uganda: landscape genomics study of traditional cattle breeds with a large SNP dataset

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki

Since its introduction, landscape genomics has developed quickly with the increasing availability of both molecular and topo-climatic data. Current challenges involve processing large numbers of models and disentangling selection from demography. Several m ...

Divergent selection in trailing- versus leading-edge populations of Biscutella laevigata

Stéphane Joost

Background and Aims: Knowledge on how climate-induced range shifts might affect natural selection is crucial to understand the evolution of species range. Methods: Using historical demographic perspectives gathered from regional-scale phylogeography on the ...

Persistence of butterfly populations in fragmented habitats along urban density gradients: motility helps

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Ivo Widmer

In a simulation study of genotypes conducted over 100 generations for more than 1600 butterfly’s individuals, we evaluate how the increase of anthropogenic fragmentation and reduction of habitat size along urbanisation gradients (from 7% to 59% of impervio ...

Local-scale deprivation is associated with the spatial distribution of poor diet quality in adults: A cross-sectional population-based study in Switzerland

Stéphane Joost

Poor diet quality is linked to non-communicable diseases and mortality. Area deprivation is an important determinant of diet. Whether small area deprivation influences the spatial distribution of diet quality remains unknown. We aimed to assess the spatial ...

A multiscale landscape genomics analytical framework to identify local adaptive variation in the Buckler Mustard

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel

The question of finding an appropriate scale to study adaptation emerged only recently in landscape genomics, while in landscape ecology its components (extent and resolution or grain) have been addressed in many papers. In fact, in landscape genetics only ...

Seascape genomics reveals candidate molecular targets of heat stress adaptation in three coral species

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni

Anomalous heat waves are causing a major decline of hard corals around the world and threatening the persistence of coral reefs. There are, however, reefs that have been exposed to recurrent thermal stress over the years and whose corals appear to have bee ...

Combining Human Computing and Machine Learning to Make Sense of Big (Aerial) Data for Disaster Response

Devis Tuia, Stéphane Joost, Matthew Josef Parkan

Aerial imagery captured via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is playing an increasingly important role in disaster response. Unlike satellite imagery, aerial imagery can be captured and processed within hours rather than days. In addition, the spatial resol ...

GIScience joining with molecular biology: a novel approach of detecting signatures of natural selection within the genome

Stéphane Joost

Even if many research projects in population genetics and conservation biology collect a quantity of spatially located biological samples, and despite its present predominance in Science and its direct application to concerns of public society (health, foo ...

Vertical distribution and seasonal dynamics of planktonic cyanobacteria communities in a water column of deep mesotrophic Lake Geneva

Tamar Kohn, Stéphane Joost, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Natacha Pasche, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Hannah Elisa Chmiel, Annie Sandrine Guillaume, Charlotte Gisèle Weil

Background: Temperate subalpine lakes recovering from eutrophication in central Europe are experiencing harmful blooms due to the proliferation of Planktothrix rubescens, a potentially toxic cyanobacteria. To optimize the management of cyanobacteria blooms ...

Spatial dependence of genetic data related to human health and livestock disease resistance: a role for geography to support the One Health approach

Stéphane Joost

The spatial dependence of located health and/or genetic data can be used to detect clusters likely to reveal disease prevalence or signatures of adaptation associated with characteristics of the local environment (high temperatures, air or water pollution) ...

Rapid identification and interpretation of gene‐environment associations using the new R.SamBada landscape genomics pipeline

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel, Sylvie Stucki, Estelle Rochat, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Elia Vajana, Solange Catherine Gaillard

Samβada is a genome‐environment association (GEA) software, designed to search for signatures of local adaptation. However, pre‐ and post‐processing of data can be labour‐intensive, preventing wider uptake of the method. We have now developed R.SamBada, an ...

Worldwide analysis of reef surveys sorts coral taxa by associations with recent and past heat stress

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni

Coral reefs around the world are under threat from anomalous heat waves that are causing the widespread decline of hard corals. Different coral taxa are known to have different sensitivities to heat, although variation in susceptibilities have also been ob ...

Prospects and Challenges for the Conservation of Farm Animal Genomic Resources, 2015-2025

Stéphane Joost

Livestock conservation practice is changing rapidly in light of policy, climate change and market demands. The last decade saw a step change in technological and analytical approaches to define, manage and conserve Farm Animal Genomic Resources (FAnGR). Th ...

Multiscale landscape genomic models to detect signatures of selection in the alpine plant Biscutella laevigata

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel

Plant species are known to adapt locally to their environment, particularly in mountainous areas where conditions can vary drastically over short distances. The climate of such landscapes being largely influenced by topography, using fine-scale models to e ...

Combining genotype, phenotype and environment to infer potential candidate genes: An example using the Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda)

Stéphane Joost

Population genomic analyses can be an important tool in understanding local adaptation. Identification of potential adaptive loci in such analyses is usually based on the survey of a large genomic dataset in combination with environmental variables. Phenot ...

Very high resolution digital elevation models: are multi-scale derived variables ecologically relevant?

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are often used in landscape ecology to retrieve elevation or first derivative terrain attributes such as slope or aspect in the context of species distribution modelling. However, DEM-derived variables are scale-dependent an ...
