Identifying Key Biodiversity Areas Based on Distinct Genetic Diversity. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. Distinct genetic diversity has been introduced as one of the metrics to estimate whether a site holds a threshold proportion of a species' global genetic diversity during the KBA identification process.

Genetic origins and climate-induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts. [PDF]
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Patterns of Interploidy Admixture in Polyploid Complexes: Insights From Thymus Sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Understanding gene flow between ploidy levels in polyploid complexes is essential for species delimitation and conservation. This study explores evolutionary dynamics in the polyploid complex Thymus sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae), comprising three taxa: T. mastichina subsp. mastichina, T. mastichina subsp.

A Dominant Founder Lineage Has Possible Fitness Costs for the Endangered Mexican Grey Wolf. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Mexican grey wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is an endangered and genetically distinct subspecies of grey wolf adapted to the warm climates of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Following centuries of eradication efforts, Mexican grey wolves were protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1976, prompting an international ex situ ...

Anthropogenic or Natural Dispersal: Case of the Spiny-Tailed Iguanas (<i>Ctenosaura</i>) on Clarion Island, Mexico. [PDF]
Species can colonize oceanic islands by both natural and human‐assisted dispersal and human‐caused species introductions have had catastrophic effects on ecosystems around the world. The Spiny‐tailed Iguanas inhabiting Clarion Island were previously considered introduced. Molecular data and analyses support iguanas' arrival on Clarion Island by natural

Incipient Range Expansion of Green Turtles in the Mediterranean. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In response to global climate change, numerous taxa are expanding their living ranges. In highly migratory species such as sea turtles, this expansion may be driven by individuals from nearby or distant areas. Recent nests outside the species' typical nesting range and reports of adult‐sized individuals in the western Mediterranean suggest a ...
