Spatiotemporal Genetic Diversity of Lions Reveals the Influence of Habitat Fragmentation across Africa

Caitlin J. Curry et al.

Summary: Direct comparisons between historical and contemporary populations revealed changes in genetic diversity over the last century, with habitat fragmentation leading to increased geographic isolation of lion subpopulations and loss of genetic diversity in nuclear markers. However, mitochondrial structure and diversity remained consistent over time.

Evolutionary principles and genetic considerations for guiding conservation interventions under climate change

Juan D. Gaitan-Espitia et al.

Summary: Climate change has had apparent impacts on natural systems worldwide, leading many species to struggle to survive in changing environments. Traditional conservation efforts focusing on genetic diversity have shifted towards more active interventions such as protected areas, rewilding, and genetic engineering in order to address the rapid loss of biodiversity.

Conserving intraspecific variation for nature's contributions to people

Simone Des Roches et al.

Summary: The rapid loss of intraspecific variation poses a hidden biodiversity crisis, yet it is often overlooked in biodiversity assessments. Intraspecific variation plays a crucial role in supporting ecosystem functions and nature's contributions to people. Collaborative research and new genomic tools are needed to further explore and conserve the value of intraspecific variation.

To mix or not to mix gene pools for threatened species management? Few studies use genetic data to examine the risks of both actions, but failing to do so leads disproportionately to recommendations for separate management

Erin Liddell et al.

Summary: Small, isolated populations face risks of genetic variation loss and inbreeding, which can increase their risk of extinction. Augmenting gene flow can help alleviate these issues. However, many studies do not consider genetic risks in their management recommendations, and those that do often recommend gene-pool mixing over separate management when considering inbreeding depression and outbreeding depression.
