Genetic guidelines for translocations: Maintaining intraspecific diversity in the lion (Panthera leo)

Laura D. Bertola et al.

Summary: Conservation translocations are crucial for large wildlife species like the lion, but must consider genetic background to prevent homogenization. A decision-making tool is provided for 132 lion populations/conservation units, aiding managers in making informed choices. Analysis of international lion trade reveals potential risks to genetic diversity, emphasizing the importance of genetic considerations in conservation management.

Genomic analyses show extremely perilous conservation status of African and Asiatic cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus)

Stefan Prost et al.

Summary: Cheetahs, as apex predators, play important roles in ecosystems, but they are facing a precarious conservation status due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal trafficking. A comprehensive genome-wide analysis of cheetah phylogeography revealed that their genetic differentiation is more complex than previously thought, with distinct genetic characteristics in East African cheetahs compared to Southern African cheetahs. Inbreeding was observed in critically endangered Iranian and Northwestern subspecies, and cheetahs were found to have the lowest genome-wide heterozygosity among big cats. These findings provide valuable information for evidence-based conservation policy decisions and protecting this species in light of ongoing translocations and the threat of illegal trafficking.

Assessing Asiatic cheetah's individual diet using metabarcoding and its implication for conservation

Leili Khalatbari et al.

Summary: Knowledge of diet composition is important for conservation of large carnivores. The study found that Asiatic cheetahs primarily prey on mouflon, followed by ibex, cape hare, and goitered gazelle. The habitat preference of these prey species influences the cheetah's diet composition. Protection of flatlands and minimizing human impact in lowland habitats is crucial for the survival of Asiatic cheetahs.

Subspecies hybridization as a potential conservation tool in species reintroductions

Lilith J. Zecherle et al.

Summary: Reintroductions are important for endangered species recovery, but their success depends on the genetic diversity of the reintroduced population. Mixing individuals from different sources can improve adaptive ability, but too much diversity may lead to outbreeding depression. A study on Asiatic wild ass reintroduction in Israel found high subspecies admixture and no spatial autocorrelation, suggesting successful subspecies hybridization increasing genetic diversity. This study supports the use of intraspecific hybridization for conservation translocations.

People have shaped most of terrestrial nature for at least 12,000 years

Erle C. Ellis et al.

Summary: Archaeological and paleoecological evidence suggest that human societies have been using ecologically transformative land use practices since 10,000 BCE, shaping nearly three quarters of Earth's land by that time. The current biodiversity crisis is not primarily caused by the loss of uninhabited wildlands, but rather from the appropriation, colonization, and intensifying use of biodiverse cultural landscapes long shaped and sustained by prior societies. Recognizing the deep cultural connection with biodiversity will be crucial in resolving the crisis.

The impacts of extreme climate change on mammals differ among functional groups at regional scale: The case of Iranian terrestrial mammals

Gholam Hosein Yusefi et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the impacts of climate change on mammals are not uniform, and vulnerability to these changes differs between functional groups. The research found that the areas most at risk of exposure to extreme climates are located in lowlands rather than mountains, with extreme drying posing a greater threat to mammal diversity, particularly for large-bodied and threatened species in arid regions.
