BACKGROUND The pace and magnitude of human-caused global change has accelerated
dramatically over the past 50 years, overwhelming the capacity of many ecosystems and …

Although genetic diversity has been recognized as a key component of biodiversity since the
first Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1993, it has rarely been included in …

Increasing habitat fragmentation leads to wild populations becoming small, isolated, and
threatened by inbreeding depression. However, small populations may be able to purge …

Genetic time‐series data from historical samples greatly facilitate inference of past
population dynamics and species evolution. Yet, although climate and landscape change …

Even with global support for tiger (Panthera tigris) conservation their survival is threatened
by poaching, habitat loss and isolation. Currently about 3,000 wild tigers persist in small …

Wide-ranging large carnivores pose myriad challenges for conservation, especially in highly
fragmented landscapes. Over a 13-year period, we combined monitoring of radio collared …

Aim Maintaining connectivity is critical for long‐term persistence of wild carnivores in
landscapes fragmented due to anthropogenic activity. We examined spatial genetic structure …

Although significantly more money is spent on the conservation of tigers than on any other
threatened species, today only 3200 to 3600 tigers roam the forests of Asia, occupying only …

Attempts to mitigate the biodiversity crisis require effective indicators on the state of nature,
and the Living Planet Index 1 (LPI) is an important tool for policy response and for …

The application of high-throughput, short-read sequencing to degraded DNA has greatly
increased the feasibility of generating genomic data from historical museum specimens …
