Genetic diversity and population structure of an insect‐pollinated and bird‐dispersed dioecious tree Magnolia kwangsiensis in a fragmented karst forest landscape

Ecology and Evolution
This study combined population genetics and parentage analysis to obtain foundational data for the conservation of Magnolia kwangsiensis. M. kwangsiensis is a Class I tree species that occurs in two disjunct regions in a biodiversity hotspot in southwest

Species‐level exploration of the gut microbiome in the leaf‐eating Presbytis monkeys reflected the effects of anthropogenic activity and specialized dietary niches: Conservation on the fourth biodiversity level

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study integrates full‐length 16S rRNA and deep metagenomic sequencing to explore species‐level gut microbial composition and function in two endangered leaf‐eating langur species—white‐headed langurs and François' langurs—across gradients of human disturbance.

Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...

Allocating Conservation Resources under the Endangered Species Act [PDF]

The necessity to develop a priority system to guide the allocation of resources to the conservation of endangered species is widely recognized. The economic theory of biodiversity has established a framework to do so, and has identified priority criteria

DNA Barcoding Reveals Cryptic Diversity and Informs Conservation Priorities in Chinese Firmiana Species (Malvaceae) Using Genome Skimming Data DNA条形码揭示中国梧桐属 (锦葵科) 隐存多样性及保护优先级:来自基因组浅层测序数据的证据

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurate species identification is critical for conserving endangered Firmiana trees in China. However, morphological similarities among closely related Firmiana species complicate its taxonomic identification. We conducted genome skimming on 62 samples representing all 10 Chinese species and discovered nrITS as the optimal DNA barcode, achieving 100 ...
