Population genomics for wildlife conservation and management
Biodiversity is under threat worldwide. Over the past decade, the field of population
genomics has developed across nonmodel organisms, and the results of this research have …

Prevalence and adaptive impact of introgression
Alleles that introgress between species can influence the evolutionary and ecological fate of
species exposed to novel environments. Hybrid offspring of different species are often unfit …

[HTML][HTML] Genetic diversity targets and indicators in the CBD post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework must be improved
The 196 parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will soon agree to a post-
2020 global framework for conserving the three elements of biodiversity (genetic, species …

The critically endangered vaquita is not doomed to extinction by inbreeding depression
In cases of severe wildlife population decline, a key question is whether recovery efforts will
be impeded by genetic factors, such as inbreeding depression. Decades of excess mortality …

Conservation of biodiversity in the genomics era
MA Supple, B Shapiro - Genome biology, 2018 - Springer
Abstract “Conservation genomics” encompasses the idea that genome-scale data will
improve the capacity of resource managers to protect species. Although genetic approaches …

The evolutionary genomics of species' responses to climate change
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 …

Climate vulnerability assessment for Pacific salmon and steelhead in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem
Major ecological realignments are already occurring in response to climate change. To be
successful, conservation strategies now need to account for geographical patterns in traits …

Genomics and the challenging translation into conservation practice
The global loss of biodiversity continues at an alarming rate. Genomic approaches have
been suggested as a promising tool for conservation practice as scaling up to genome-wide …
