Sparse genetic data limit biodiversity assessments in protected areas globally
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 8, October 2025.Global conservation targets include protecting genetic diversity within species. Yet few studies have assessed whether protected areas (PAs) include genetically diverse populations across species globally. A first step is understanding the availability of population genetic data that could be used in these assessments.

Reply to Halanych et al.: Ctenophore misplacement is corroborated by independent datasets [PDF]
, 2016 In their letter, Halanych et al. (1) criticize our recent assertion (2) that the phylogenetic placement of ctenophores as the sister group to all other animals (the Ctenophora-sister hypothesis) in three previous studies (3–5) was an artifact caused by ...
