The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

Biodiversity is under threat worldwide. Over the past decade, the field of population
genomics has developed across nonmodel organisms, and the results of this research have …

Biodiversity underlies ecosystem resilience, ecosystem function, sustainable economies,
and human well‐being. Understanding how biodiversity sustains ecosystems under …

The rapidly emerging field of macrogenetics focuses on analysing publicly accessible
genetic datasets from thousands of species to explore large-scale patterns and predictors of …

Marine mammals can play important ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems, and their
presence can be key to community structure and function. Consequently, marine mammals …

Parentage analysis is a cornerstone of molecular ecology that has delivered fundamental
insights into behaviour, ecology and evolution. Microsatellite markers have long been the …

Research in ecology and wildlife biology remains crucial for increasing our knowledge and
improving species management and conservation in the midst of the current biodiversity …

Globally, 15,521 animal species are listed as threatened by the International Union for the
Conservation of Nature, and of these less than 3% have genomic resources that can inform …

Genetic erosion is a major threat to biodiversity because it can reduce fitness and ultimately
contribute to the extinction of populations. Here, we explore the use of quantitative metrics to …

Various biological attributes associated with individual fitness in animals change predictably
over the lifespan of an organism. Therefore, the study of animal ecology and the work of …
