Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

Understanding the processes and patterns of gene flow and local adaptation requires a
detailed knowledge of how landscape characteristics structure populations. This …

Since allozymes were first used to assess genetic diversity in the 1960s and 1970s,
biologists have attempted to characterize gene pools and conserve the diversity observed in …

Under climate change, species unable to track their niche via range shifts are largely reliant
on genetic variation to adapt and persist. Genomic vulnerability predictions are used to …

An important step in the analysis of genetic data is to describe and categorize natural
variation. Individuals that live close together are, on average, more genetically similar than …

Evolution occurs rapidly and is an ongoing process in our environments. Evolutionary
principles need to be built into conservation efforts, particularly given the stressful conditions …

Biotic homogenization, the gradual replacement of native biotas by locally expanding non-
natives, is a global process that diminishes floral and faunal distinctions among regions …

Extinction‐risk assessments play a major role in prioritizing conservation action at national
and international levels. However, quantifying extinction risk is challenging, especially when …

The S outh A merican continent is composed of several biogeographical regions harbouring
the highest biodiversity on the globe, encompassing five of the world's biodiversity 'hot …

Population genomics has the potential to improve studies of evolutionary genetics,
molecular ecology and conservation biology, by facilitating the identification of adaptive …
