Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1954-1968, December 2025.Abstract The invasive white‐footed ant Technomyrmex difficilis has emerged as a rising pest in several regions, yet its invasion dynamics remain underexplored. This species outcompetes native ants and causes agricultural losses by tending pest insects, including aphids and mealybugs.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.ABSTRACT Species with extremely small population sizes are critically endangered because of reduced genetic diversity, increased inbreeding and hybridisation threats. Genomic tools significantly advance conservation by revealing genetic insights into endangered species, notably in monitoring frameworks.

Genetic Diversity in a Small Chicken Population Inferred from Microsatellite Polymorphism
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2014 Neutral genetic variation is believed to provide useful information for conservation of farm-animal genetic resources. The aim of the present study was to assess genetic diversity in a small native chicken population composed of 4 groups, using neutral ...

Maintenance of genetic diversity in subdivided populations using genomic coancestry matrices. [PDF]
Mol Ecol Resour, 2023 AbstractFor both undivided and subdivided populations, the consensus method to maintain genetic diversity is the Optimal Contribution (OC) method. For subdivided populations, this method determines the optimal contribution of each candidate to each subpopulation to maximize global genetic diversity (which implicitly optimizes migration between ...

Pedigree reconstruction for cosexual species using simulated annealing: case study of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) : P-124 [PDF]
, 2012 The approach of Fernandez and Toro (2006) to reconstruct pedigrees from molecular data of contemporaneous individuals using a simulated annealing algorithm was extended to hermaphroditic and monoecious species.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.ABSTRACT The Iberian lynx was at the brink of extinction by the year 2000 but has since then, and thanks to intensive conservation measures, gone through a remarkable recovery, providing a much‐welcomed and encouraging conservation success story.

Genetic variability and differentiation in Spanish roe deer (Capreolus capreolus): A phylogeographic reassessment within the European framework [PDF]
, 2013 Here we study 109 Iberian roe deer individuals corresponding to 9 Spanish populations. Individuals were sampled at locations that are expected to have acted as refugia for the species during the 20th century.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.ABSTRACT In a world where habitats are degrading and the climate is warming and becoming unpredictable, biodiversity conservation efforts and funding remain grossly inadequate. As part of a multifaceted approach to halting extinctions, shifting from preserving small, remnant populations to a practice of genetically connecting populations that recreate ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.ABSTRACT Translocating individuals into existing populations of conspecifics can support threatened species by increasing population size, maintaining genetic diversity and reducing the risk of inbreeding. However, for species whose adaptive potential is compromised due to ongoing threats, like disease, the outcome of such management interventions ...
