The study tested a high-throughput sequencing method for monitoring genetic variability, finding that certain loci were still variable across multiple mammal orders. The results provide useful information for population genetic analyses and addressing questions related to phylogeography.
Background and aims: Wildlife conservation has focused primarily on species for the last decades. Recently, popular perception and laws have begun to recognize the central importance of genetic diversity in the conservation of biodiversity. How to incorporate genetic diversity in ongoing monitoring and management of wildlife is still an open question. Methods: We tested a panel of multiplexed, high-throughput sequenced introns in the small mammal communities of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites on different continents to assess their viability for large-scale monitoring of genetic variability in a spectrum of diverse species. To enhance applicability across other systems, the bio-informatic pipeline for primer design was outlined. Results: The number of loci amplified and amplification evenness decreased as phylogenetic distance increased from the reference taxa, yet several loci were still variable across multiple mammal orders. Conclusions: Genetic variability found is informative for population genetic analyses and for addressing phylogeo-graphic and phylogenetic questions, illustrated by small mammal examples here.
