Demographic history and identification of threats revealed by population genomic analysis provide insights into conservation for an endangered maple

Yongpeng Ma et al.

Summary: Whole genome resequencing of the endangered plant Acer yangbiense revealed low genetic diversity, repeated bottleneck events, and severe habitat fragmentation as major threats contributing to its endangered status. Conservation actions focusing on genetic rescue are recommended based on genetic differentiation and patterns of deleterious mutations.

Integrated index-based assessment reveals long-term conservation progress in implementation of Convention on Biological Diversity

Yisi Hu et al.

Summary: The Convention on Biological Diversity has achieved positive results in its long-term conservation strategic plans and has been evaluated using an index-based assessment framework. Despite challenges in biodiversity conservation, the rate of progress has slowed down due to increasing conservation efforts, providing scientific evidence for the development of a new global biodiversity framework.

Latitudinal Diversity Gradient in the Changing World: Retrospectives and Perspectives

Yu Zhang et al.

Summary: The latitudinal diversity gradient is an important biodiversity pattern on Earth, with species diversity increasing from polar to tropical regions. Despite several hypotheses proposed, there is still no consensus on the underlying causes of this pattern. In this review, the authors summarize recent progress in studying the latitudinal diversity gradient, highlighting the effects of evolution and ecology and the importance of tropical region distribution.

Genotyping-by-Sequencing Analysis Shows That Siberian Lindens Are Nested within Tilia cordata Mill

Sergei Shekhovtsov et al.

Summary: Tilia sibirica and T. nasczokinii are considered as endemic Siberian linden species with significant differences compared to Tilia cordata. Phylogenetic analysis based on GBS data suggests a close relationship between the two Siberian species and T. cordata, with no relation to T. amurensis as previously hypothesized. The study indicates colonization of Europe and Siberia after the Last Glacial Maximum occurred from different glacial refugia.

Gene Flow and Genetic Structure Reveal Reduced Diversity between Generations of a Tropical Tree, Manilkara multifida Penn., in Atlantic Forest Fragments

Zubaria Waqar et al.

Summary: The study assessed the genetic diversity and structure of Manilkara multifida populations in the remnants of the Atlantic Forest in southern Bahia, Brazil, finding a significant decrease in genetic variability between adult and juvenile trees. The forest fragments also showed unexpectedly short gene flow.

Genetic diversity of Horsfieldia tetratepala (Myristicaceae), an endangered Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations to China: implications for its conservation

Chaonan Cai et al.

Summary: Genetic variation plays a crucial role in the evolutionary potential of a species. The study on Horsfieldia tetratepala shows low genetic diversity and moderate genetic differentiation among populations. Conservation efforts should focus on populations with higher genetic variation for more effective conservation strategies.

Genetic diversity and structure of Rhododendron meddianum, a plant species with extremely small populations

Xiu-Jiao Zhang et al.

Summary: The critically endangered Rhododendron meddianum exhibits high genetic diversity among populations, moderate genetic differentiation, and clustering into three distinct genetic groups. A population bottleneck was detected approximately 70,000 years ago, and divergence with its relative species occurred about 3.05 million years ago.

Genetic diversity and structure of the endemic and endangered species Aristolochia delavayi growing along the Jinsha River

Yu-Long Yu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the genetic diversity and structure of the endangered plant species Aristolochia delavayi in China. Analysis revealed high genetic diversity within populations but significant genetic differentiation among populations, possibly due to geographical barriers and limited seed dispersal. Conservation efforts should focus on maintaining genetic diversity and managing populations based on genetic clusters.

Biodiversity arks in the Anthropocene

Honghu Meng et al.

Summary: The proposal of the Anthropocene suggests that changes brought by human activity and climate change are presenting unprecedented challenges to biodiversity. In response, the concept of biodiversity arks in the Anthropocene is introduced, aiming to protect vulnerable biodiversity under human influence and climate change. This concept is crucial for conservation efforts and sustainable management in the face of the Anthropocene.

OptM: estimating the optimal number of migration edges on population trees using Treemix

Robert R. Fitak

Summary: The study shows that inferring the optimal number of migration events in population trees can be achieved by examining the second-order rate of change in likelihood (Δm), which performs equally well as current recommendations for Treemix. This method may be preferable in large, complex population histories.
