From individuals to communities: How genomics is transforming biodiversity conservation [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology
Genomics has rapidly become one of the most transformative scientific approaches in modern conservation biology. As biodiversity faces increasing threats from climate change, habitat degradation, invasive species, and other human impacts, the use of ...

Landscape Genomics in Tree Conservation Under a Changing Environment

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Understanding the genetic basis of how species respond to changing environments is essential to the conservation of species. However, the molecular mechanisms of adaptation remain largely unknown for long-lived tree species which always have large ...

Wildlife gut microbiomes of sympatric generalist species respond differently to anthropogenic landscape disturbances

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2023
Background Human encroachment into nature and the accompanying environmental changes are a big concern for wildlife biodiversity and health. While changes on the macroecological scale, i.e.

Human encroachment into wildlife gut microbiomes

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Fackelmann et al. study the gut microbial composition of spiny rats across tropical forests in Panama with varying levels of protection and fragmentation in order to disentangle the relative influences of habitat fragmentation and anthropogenic ...

Identification of novel bacterial biomarkers to detect bird scavenging by invasive rats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Rapid advances in genomic tools for use in ecological contexts and non‐model systems allow unprecedented insight into interactions that occur beyond direct observation.

Floral traits are associated with the quality but not quantity of heterospecific stigmatic pollen loads

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2020
Background In flowering communities, plant species commonly share pollinators and therefore plant individuals receive heterospecific pollen (HP). However, the patterns of HP transfers can deviate from patterns of plant-pollinator visitations.

Milk microbiomes of three great ape species vary among host species and over time

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
In mammalian neonates, milk consumption provides nutrients, growth factors, immune molecules, and microbes. Milk microbiomes are increasingly recognized for their roles in seeding infant gut microbiomes and priming immune development.

Transcriptome assembly and differential gene expression of the invasive avian malaria parasite Plasmodium relictum in Hawaiʻi

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The malaria parasite Plasmodium relictum (lineage GRW4) was introduced less than a century ago to the native avifauna of Hawaiʻi, where it has since caused major declines of endemic bird populations.

Climate warming drives a temperate-zone lizard to its upper thermal limits, restricting activity, and increasing energetic costs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Lizards are considered vulnerable to climate change because many operate near their thermal maxima. Exposure to higher temperatures could reduce activity of these animals by forcing them to shelter in thermal refugia for prolonged periods to avoid ...
