Importance of timely metadata curation to the global surveillance of genetic diversity

Eric D. Crandall et al.

Summary: Genetic diversity within species is important for species resilience and conservation policies, but most studies lack the necessary spatial and temporal metadata for reusability and acknowledging sovereignty. We conducted a datathon and found that metadata decayed over time, with successful restoration through papers and online repositories being more effective than contacting authors directly. The rapid decay of metadata availability should prompt updates to data-sharing policies and researcher practices.

Global genetic diversity status and trends: towards a suite of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) for genetic composition

Sean Hoban et al.

Summary: Biodiversity is crucial for the resilience, function, economies, and well-being of ecosystems, but understanding how it sustains ecosystems under stress and environmental change requires new approaches to biodiversity data. The Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) has developed Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) as fundamental metrics to aggregate and interpret biodiversity observation data. Genetic Composition EBVs (Genetic EBVs), which measure within-species genetic variation, are proposed and ranked according to relevance, sensitivity to change, generalizability, scalability, feasibility, and data availability. The implementation of Genetic EBVs faces challenges in terms of aggregation, standardization, and costs, but advances in genetic data collection and availability provide opportunities for their integration into global conservation policy.

Weaving place-based knowledge for culturally significant species in the age of genomics: Looking to the past to navigate the future

Aisling Rayne et al.

Summary: The relationship with place provides critical context for characterizing biocultural diversity, yet genetic and genomic studies are rarely informed by Indigenous or local knowledge. By weaving genomic markers with place-based knowledge, the study shows how to better reveal the biocultural complexities of culturally significant species.

A brief history of population genetic research in California and an evaluation of its utility for conservation decision-making

Joscha Beninde et al.

Summary: The CaliPopGen dataset summarizes population genetic research in California from 1985 to 2020, providing valuable information for conservation professionals. However, it has limitations in terms of unbiasedness, quantity, coverage, and inclusion of adaptive loci. The ongoing California Conservation Genomics Project (CCGP) aims to overcome these limitations with a more comprehensive approach. Combining the two datasets can enhance conservation decision-making.

Genetic diversity loss in the Anthropocene

Moises Exposito-Alonso et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change are causing reduction in species' geographic ranges, increasing extinction risk, and loss of genetic diversity. Researchers have developed a mathematical framework that links biodiversity theory and population genetics to understand the loss of naturally occurring DNA mutations due to habitat loss. By analyzing genomic variation in 10,095 individuals from 20 plant and animal species, they found that genome-wide diversity follows a mutations-area relationship power law, which can predict genetic diversity loss from local population extinctions.

Genetic consequences of long-term small effective population size in the critically endangered pygmy hog

Langqing Liu et al.

Summary: Human disturbance and climate change have a negative impact on habitat integrity and size, leading to population decline and habitat fragmentation for wild fauna and flora. Analysis of the genomic data of the pygmy hog reveals a very small historical population size with no recent inbreeding, but evidence of harmful mutation accumulation exceeding purifying selection. Care must be taken in conservation efforts to prevent further inbreeding depression and mitigate potential environmental changes.

Summary: Drafting and writing a Data Management Plan (DMP) is crucial in academic research to ensure best practices in data collection, preservation, and sharing, leading to accessible, high-quality, and long-lasting data. The benefits of DMP include compliance with funder and institutional mandates, increasing research transparency, protecting data subjects, and adhering to data protection regulations.

Genomic evidence for inbreeding depression and purging of deleterious genetic variation in Indian tigers

Anubhab Khan et al.

Summary: Habitat fragmentation leads to small populations, increasing the risk of inbreeding depression. Small populations can reduce inbreeding depression by purging deleterious recessive alleles. The study on Indian tiger populations found differences in inbreeding levels and mutation load between small and large populations.

Creating space for Indigenous perspectives on access and benefit-sharing: Encouraging researcher use of the Local Contexts Notices

Libby Liggins et al.

Summary: The editorial of Molecular Ecology encourages the use of Biocultural Labels Initiative to increase visibility of Indigenous communities and allow them to define genetic resource protocols and permissions. This initiative aims to support the Nagoya Protocol principles, Indigenous Data Sovereignty, and build better research relationships.

Genomic data of different resolutions reveal consistent inbreeding estimates but contrasting homozygosity landscapes for the threatened Aotearoa New Zealand hihi

Laura Duntsch et al.

Summary: The study on hihi birds revealed that low-density data sets may lead to errors in estimating runs of homozygosity, while low-coverage resequencing and 50K SNP array densities can produce comparable inbreeding results. However, the accuracy of all data sets is heavily influenced by software settings, analysis parameters, and individual sequencing depth.

Poor data stewardship will hinder global genetic diversity surveillance

Rachel H. Toczydlowski et al.

Summary: Genomic data are being generated and archived rapidly, but a lack of spatiotemporal metadata poses challenges for genetic diversity monitoring. Only a small fraction of genomic datasets contain geographic coordinates and collection years, highlighting the need for streamlined data processes and updated policies to address the growing metadata gap.

Genomic sequencing confirms absence of introgression despite past hybridisation between a critically endangered bird and its common congener

Natalie J. Forsdick et al.

Summary: Genomic analysis was used to reassess the extent of introgression resulting from interspecific hybridisation between the critically endangered kaki over bar and the non-threatened poaka. The study found no evidence of poaka genetic material introgression in the wild adult kaki over bar population, indicating that existing microsatellite markers are effective for detecting potential hybrid individuals.
