Genetic variation, which is generated by mutation, recombination and gene flow, can reduce
the mean fitness of a population, both now and in the future. This 'genetic load'has been …

Biodiversity underlies ecosystem resilience, ecosystem function, sustainable economies,
and human well‐being. Understanding how biodiversity sustains ecosystems under …

The unprecedented rate of extinction calls for efficient use of genetics to help conserve
biodiversity. Several recent genomic and simulation-based studies have argued that the …

Delimiting and naming biodiversity is a vital step toward wildlife conservation and research.
However, species delimitation must be consistent across biota so that the limited resources …

The current rate of species extinction is rapidly approaching unprecedented highs, and life
on Earth presently faces a sixth mass extinction event driven by anthropogenic activity …

Vast global declines of freshwater and marine fish diversity and population abundance pose
serious threats to both ecosystem sustainability and human livelihoods. Environmental DNA …

Climate change is a threat to biodiversity. One way that this threat manifests is through
pronounced shifts in the geographical range of species over time. To predict these shifts …

Abstract The California Conservation Genomics Project (CCGP) is a unique, critically
important step forward in the use of comprehensive landscape genetic data to modernize …

Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is an important
and widely used tool for conservation assessment. The IUCN uses information about a …

Conservation managers typically need to make prompt decisions based on limited
information and resources. Consequently, generalisations have essential roles in guiding …
