Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Genetic origins and climate‐induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Hurricane Impacts on the Population Genetics of an Endangered Ecosystem Engineer 飓风对一种濒危生态系统工程师的种群遗传学影响

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 641-651, December 2025.
Key Largo woodrats are a small and endangered island species, whose individuals tend to occur in family groups. Isolation from mainland populations, predation, and habitat fragmentation have caused genetic drift, leading to low overall diversity. Here, we found that a major category 4 hurricane promoted genetic diversity in the Key Largo woodrat ...

Genetic Confirmations of Dwarf Lemurs Across Madagascar Highlights Complex Biogeographic Patterns 马达加斯加全境鼠狐猴的遗传确认揭示了复杂的生物地理模式

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 665-674, December 2025.
Using a diagnostic mitochondrial marker gene, we document the presence of furry‐eared dwarf lemurs, a species known from Madagascar's eastern montane rainforests, in several forest fragments across the island's central highlands. These findings raise new questions about when this species colonized these sites, how they tolerate these changing and ...

Institutional Legacies and Governance Models: A Comparative Study of Broadband State Aid in Europe

Politics &Policy, Volume 53, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT This article explores how historical legacies and institutional configurations impact the governance models used in implementing State aid policies for broadband in France, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The analysis is based on historical institutionalism, focusing on path dependence, critical junctures, and gradual institutional ...

A Piece of the Puzzle: Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Newly Designated Qilianshan National Park (China) and Its Contribution to Snow Leopard (Panthera Uncia) Habitat Connectivity 拼图之一:评估新建祁连山国家公园 (中国) 的有效性及其对雪豹 (Panthera Uncia) 栖息地连通性的贡献

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 287-301, September 2025.
Qilianshan National Park covers approximately 40% of core snow leopard habitat patches and 50% of movement corridors between patches. Including more of these important areas within the park boundaries should be considered, as the Qilianshan National Park sits at a pivotal juncture between critical snow leopard habitat in China and Mongolia, and may ...

Genetic Diversity and Phylogeographic Structure of the Edible Caterpillars of Gynanisa maja and Implications for the Sustainability of the Species in Namibia

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 405-415, September 2025.
Assessing the genetic diversity of edible insects harvested from the wild is a pre‐requisite for designing conservation and management policies. The caterpillars of Gynanisa maja (Saturniidae) are harvested in large numbers in mopane woodlands in southern Africa, where they represent a seasonal source of income and nutrition to many rural communities ...

Next‐Generation Sequencing of Fecal DNA: A Novel Insight Into the Mitogenome Phylogeography of the Snow Leopard (Panthera Uncia) 粪便dna的二代测序:对雪豹线粒体组谱系地理结构的新洞察

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 277-286, September 2025.
This study provides an innovation to address the challenge in accessibility to samples and genetic markers in Snow leopard conservation genetic studies. We performed next‐generation sequencing (NGS) on 19 fecal samples obtained from the eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, and successfully assembled 17 complete mitogenome sequences (~16,720 bp) and ...
