Genetic Diversity and Conservation Units: Dealing With the Species-Population Continuum in the Age of Genomics

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas, ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity and the evolutionary continuum from populations to species.

Multifaceted framework for defining conservation units: An example from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Canada

Evolutionary Applications, 2023
Conservation units represent important components of intraspecific diversity that can aid in prioritizing and protecting at‐risk populations, while also safeguarding unique diversity that can contribute to species resilience.

Harnessing genomics for delineating conservation units [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2012
Genomic data have the potential to revolutionize the delineation of conservation units (CUs) by allowing the detection of adaptive genetic variation, which is otherwise difficult for rare, endangered species.

Vascular epiphytes of the Serra do Relógio: the surprising richness of the seasonal forests in the mountains of Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Rodriguésia, 2022
Studies conducted on vascular epiphytes in Minas Gerais have revealed high richness in the seasonal semi-deciduous forests (SSF) in comparison with those of other Brazilian states. This study aimed to present a vascular epiphyte checklist of the Serra do

Ecological Restoration in Conservation Units

, 2015
Forest ecosystems have rapidly been transformed into areas for the occupation of the human population and for economic purposes [1]. Rainforests distributed around the planet have been cleared because of a complex set of factors, which vary according to ...

Disentangling Species Delineation and Guiding Conservation of Endangered Magnolias in Veracruz, Mexico

Plants, 2021
The Mexican state of Veracruz has suffered very high deforestation rates in the last few decades, and despite the establishment of protected areas and conservation projects, primary forest is now mainly persisting in mostly small, scattered, fragmented ...

Where to draw the line? Expanding the delineation of conservation units to highly mobile taxa.

Journal of Heredity, 2023
Conservation units (CUs) are an essential tool for maximizing evolutionary potential and prioritizing areas across a species' range for protection when implementing conservation and management measures.
