Abstract
SummaryGlobal biodiversity is facing serious threats. However, knowledge of the genomic consequences of recent rapid population declines of wild organisms is limited. Do populations experiencing recent rapid population decline have the same genomic status as wild populations that experience long-term declines? Yellow-breasted Bunting (Emberiza aureola) is a critically endangered species that has been experiencing a recent rapid population decline. To answer the question, we assembled and annotated the whole genome of Yellow-breasted Bunting. Furthermore, we found high genetic diversity, low linkage disequilibrium, and low proportion of long runs of homozygosity in Yellow-breasted Bunting, suggesting that the populations following recent rapid declines have different genomic statuses from the population that experienced long-term population decline.
