Integrative and proactive conservation approaches are critical to the long-term persistence
of biodiversity. Molecular data can provide important information on evolutionary processes …

Spatial conservation prioritization (SCP) is a planning framework used to identify new
conservation areas on the basis of the spatial distribution of species, ecosystems, and their …

The conservation of biodiversity from the genetic to the community levels is fundamental for
the continual provision of ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to …

Metabarcoding is by now a well‐established method for biodiversity assessment in
terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. Metabarcoding data sets are usually used …

Protected areas buffer species from anthropogenic threats and provide places for the
processes that generate and maintain biodiversity to continue. However, genetic variation …

The availability of genomic data for an increasing number of species makes it possible to
incorporate evolutionary processes into conservation plans. Recent studies show how …

Rare and vulnerable narrow endemic species represent distinct evolutionary units emerging
from various temporal processes, and the preservation of such species is a key issue in …

Understanding the spatial scale of local adaptation and the factors associated with adaptive
diversity are important objectives for ecology and evolutionary biology, and have significant …

Conservation of biodiversity remains a challenge as changing climate and other
anthropogenic threats alter species distributions. Assessing vulnerability to future changes …

Protected area systems should ideally maintain adaptive and neutral evolutionary
processes. To achieve this, plans for expanding protected area systems (prioritizations) can …
