Integrating cryobanks into conservation frameworks: The case of boreal caribou in Ontario

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Conservation cryobanks are a powerful but underutilized complement to conventional recovery strategies such as habitat protection and population monitoring. Here, we present a transferable, stepwise framework for integrating cryobanking into formal species recovery plans, including guidance on population prioritization, partner engagement, and the ...

Analysing the genetic diversity of three sheep breeds in Turkey and nearby countries using 50 K SNPs data

Animal Biotechnology
This study analysed the genetic diversity and population structure of eight sheep breeds in Turkey and nearby countries. Moderate genetic diversity was observed, with the Sakiz (SKZ) exhibiting the highest diversity based on heterozygosity and allelic ...

Edge‐Rich Landscapes Promote Genetic Diversity While Arable Land Restricts It: Landscape‐Genomic Patterns Across Three Insect Species in an Agriculture‐Dominated Grassland Mosaic

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat loss and agricultural intensification are major drivers of insect decline, yet their consequences for intraspecific genetic diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we used landscape genomics to compare genome‐wide diversity, population differentiation and spatial patterns of gene flow in two butterfly species (Polyommatus icarus ...

Genetic Diversity and Impacts of Stocking on Cyprinus carpio Populations in Türkiye: Insights From Mitochondrial, Nuclear, and Microsatellite Markers

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 918-932, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding genetic diversity and population structure is essential for the sustainable management of widely stocked freshwater species such as common carp (Cyprinus carpio). In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genetic assessment of C.

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3705-3726, October 2026.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Limited Lifetime Costs of Inbreeding in a Large Wild Population of Superb Fairy‐Wrens

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding depression can have major negative effects on both individual fitness and population performance. The impact of inbreeding depression in wild populations remains poorly understood, and our knowledge is primarily based on estimations in insular populations with limited dispersal, which has been predicted to enhance the capacity for ...

Exploring genetic diversity and genomic inbreeding across local beef cattle breeds

Animal
Beef cattle breeds from Central and Southern Italy, such as Marchigiana, Chianina, Romagnola, Maremmana, and Podolica, represent a unique genetic resource shaped by centuries of natural and artificial selection.

Advancing Marine Mammal Conservation Through Omics Tools and Integration of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation of biodiversity is a global priority as human‐driven pressures continue to intensify and alter ecosystems worldwide. Marine mammals are vulnerable species, facing numerous escalating anthropogenic threats. Here, we evaluate how, as omics technologies become more accessible and affordable, established and emerging tools are ...

Genomic Vulnerability of a Threatened Possum in a Biodiversity and Climate Change Hotspot

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial variation in the magnitude and pace of climate change impacts means some species will be more affected than others. This includes those occurring within global biodiversity hotspots, regions with exceptional concentrations of endemic species that have often been shaped by long‐term climatic stability.

When Clades Collide: Genomic Admixture in Blacklegged Ticks (Ixodes scapularis) From the Great Plains

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACTIxodes scapularis ticks transmit a number of pathogens important to human health, including Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative agent of Lyme disease. While I. scapularis is found across the Eastern United States, Lyme disease transmission is largely limited to the Northeast and Upper Midwest and is nearly absent in the South ...
