Our ability to assess the threat posed by the genetic load to small and declining populations
has been greatly improved by advances in genome sequencing and computational …

Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

The continued loss of freshwater habitats poses a significant threat to global biodiversity. We
reviewed the extinction risk of 166 freshwater aquatic and semiaquatic mammals—a group …

Theory predicts that genetic erosion in small, isolated populations of endangered species
can be assessed using estimates of neutral genetic variation, yet this widely used approach …

In both statistical genetics and phylogenetics, a major goal is to identify correlations between
genetic loci or other aspects of the phenotype or environment and a focal trait. In these 2 …

The delay between disturbance events and genetic responses within populations is a
common but surprisingly overlooked phenomenon in ecology and evolutionary and …

The glacial cycles of the Quaternary heavily impacted species through successions of
population contractions and expansions. Similarly, populations have been intensely shaped …

A few iconic examples have proven the value of facilitated gene flow for counteracting
inbreeding depression and staving off extinction; yet, the practice is often not implemented …

Even in the genomics era, the phylogeny of Neotropical small felids comprised in the genus
Leopardus remains contentious. We used whole-genome resequencing data to construct a …

Genomic data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) models will start to play an increasingly
important role in conservation biology. In a recent study, Wilder et al.(2023) analysed …
