Translating genomic advances into biodiversity conservation

CJ Hogg - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2024 - nature.com
A key action of the new Global Biodiversity Framework is the maintenance of genetic
diversity in all species to safeguard their adaptive potential. To achieve this goal, a …

Spatial consistency in drivers of population dynamics of a declining migratory bird

CR Nater, MD Burgess, P Coffey… - Journal of Animal …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Many migratory species are in decline across their geographical ranges. Single‐population
studies can provide important insights into drivers at a local scale, but effective conservation …

Standardised empirical dispersal kernels emphasise the pervasiveness of long‐distance dispersal in European birds

G Fandos, L Talluto, W Fiedler… - Journal of Animal …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Dispersal is a key life‐history trait for most species and is essential to ensure connectivity
and gene flow between populations and facilitate population viability in variable …

Population demography of feral honeybee colonies in central European forests

PL Kohl, B Rutschmann… - Royal Society Open …, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
European honeybee populations are considered to consist only of managed colonies, but
recent censuses have revealed that wild/feral colonies still occur in various countries. To …

Density dependence maintains long‐term stability despite increased isolation and inbreeding in the Florida Scrub‐Jay

J Summers, EJ Cosgrove, R Bowman… - Ecology …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Isolation caused by anthropogenic habitat fragmentation can destabilize populations.
Populations relying on the inflow of immigrants can face reduced fitness due to inbreeding …

Contributions from terrestrial and marine resources stabilize predator populations in a rapidly changing climate

CR Nater, NE Eide, ÅØ Pedersen, NG Yoccoz… - …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change has different and sometimes divergent effects on terrestrial and marine food
webs, and in coastal ecosystems, these effects are tightly interlinked. Responses of …

Demographic rates reveal the benefits of protected areas in a long-lived migratory bird

A Soriano-Redondo, R Inger… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Recent studies have suggested that protected areas often fail to conserve target species.
However, the efficacy of terrestrial protected areas is difficult to measure, especially for …

Robustly estimating the demographic contribution of immigration: Simulation, sensitivity analysis and seals

M Christian, WC Oosthuizen, MN Bester… - Journal of Animal …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Identifying important demographic drivers of population dynamics is fundamental for
understanding life‐history evolution and implementing effective conservation measures …

Phenotypic and environmental correlates of natal dispersal in a long-lived territorial vulture

D Serrano, A Cortés-Avizanda, I Zuberogoitia… - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
Natal dispersal, the movement between the birth and the first breeding site, has been rarely
studied in long-lived territorial birds with a long-lasting pre-breeding stage. Here we …

Rapid recolonisation of feral cats following intensive culling in a semi-isolated context

P Palmas, R Gouyet, M Oedin, A Millon, JJ Cassan… - NeoBiota, 2020 - ephe.hal.science
Invasive feral cats threaten biodiversity at a global scale. Mitigating feral cat impacts and
reducing their populations has therefore become a global conservation priority, especially …
