Where to draw the line? Expanding the delineation of conservation units to highly mobile taxa

Sheela P. Turbek et al.

Summary: Conservation units are essential for prioritizing areas for protection, but current methods often ignore the information contained in patterns of isolation by distance for continuously distributed species. This paper highlights potential problems and proposes a new framework for identifying conservation units in all organisms.

Climate-mediated population dynamics of a migratory songbird differ between the trailing edge and range core

William B. Lewis et al.

Summary: Understanding the demographic drivers of range contractions is crucial for predicting species' responses to climate change. This study focuses on the effects of climate change on the black-throated blue warbler and reveals that climate change can drive trailing edge range contractions through impacts on survival and recruitment. Results show local extirpations and declines in populations at the trailing edge, indicating vulnerability to warming temperatures. Overall, this research highlights the complexities of demographic responses to climate change and the importance of local conditions in determining population declines and range shifts.

Seeing the forest for the trees: Assessing genetic offset predictions from gradient forest

Aki Jarl Laruson et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between GF Offset and fitness in the Gradient Forest algorithm, and finds that GF Offset is correlated with fitness offsets under both single locus and polygenic architectures. However, neutral demography, genomic architecture, and the nature of the adaptive environment can confound this relationship.

Forecasting climate change response in an alpine specialist songbird reveals the importance of considering novel climate

Matthew G. DeSaix et al.

Summary: This study integrates ecological and evolutionary factors to reveal the vulnerability of Brown-capped Rosy-Finch populations to climate change. The results showed that precipitation as snow plays a crucial role in habitat suitability and genetic variation. Future climate change is predicted to lead to a contraction of suitable habitat at high elevations and a shift in population allele frequencies to adapt to novel climate conditions.

Linking evolutionary potential to extinction risk: applications and future directions

Brenna R. Forester et al.

Summary: Extinction-risk assessments are crucial for prioritizing conservation action, but quantifying extinction risk, especially incorporating evolutionary potential, is challenging. Disregarding evolutionary potential can lead to inadequate resource allocation and recovery planning. Fortunately, proxies for evolutionary potential can be estimated from environmental, phenotypic, and genetic data.

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.

Hierarchical Clustering with Contiguity Constraint in R

Guillaume Guenard et al.

Summary: This article presents a new implementation of hierarchical clustering for the R language that allows the application of spatial or temporal contiguity constraints. The implementation is efficient, but limited by input/output access when dealing with large problems.
