The inflated significance of neutral genetic diversity in conservation genetics [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
The current rate of species extinction is rapidly approaching unprecedented highs, and life on Earth presently faces a sixth mass extinction event driven by anthropogenic activity, climate change, and ecological collapse.

Genetic Diversity, Conservation, and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources

Genes, 2023
Plant genetic resources (PGRs) are the total hereditary material, which includes all the alleles of various genes, present in a crop species and its wild relatives. They are a major resource that humans depend on to increase farming resilience and profit.

Genetic diversity and IUCN Red List status

Conservation Biology, 2023
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is an important and widely used tool for conservation assessment. The IUCN uses information about a species’ range, population size, habitat quality and fragmentation levels, and trends ...

Genetic diversity fuels gene discovery for tobacco and alcohol use

Nature, 2022
Tobacco and alcohol use are heritable behaviours associated with 15% and 5.3% of worldwide deaths, respectively, due largely to broad increased risk for disease and injury1–4.

Global Commitments to Conserving and Monitoring Genetic Diversity Are Now Necessary and Feasible

BioScience, 2021
Global conservation policy and action have largely neglected protecting and monitoring genetic diversity—one of the three main pillars of biodiversity.

Combining multiple markers significantly increases the sensitivity and precision of eDNA‐based single‐species analyses

Environmental DNA, 2023
The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) is becoming integrated as an established biomonitoring tool, often characterized by detection limits exceeding those of conventional counterparts. However, further improving the sensitivity of these methods may be

Life history, climate and biogeography interactively affect worldwide genetic diversity of plant and animal populations

Nature Communications, 2021
Understanding how biological and environmental factors interactively shape the global distribution of plant and animal genetic diversity is fundamental to biodiversity conservation. Genetic diversity measured in local populations (GDP) is correspondingly

Experimental assessment of downstream environmental DNA patterns under variable fish biomass and river discharge rates

Environmental DNA, 2023
The development of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods toward implementation as a cost‐effective, nonlethal tool for fish biomonitoring in lotic environments requires insights on the temporal and spatial distribution of eDNA in river systems. Yet, little is

Genetic diversity loss in the Anthropocene

bioRxiv, 2021
More species than ever before are at risk of extinction due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. But even species that are not threatened have seen reductions in their populations and geographic ranges, likely impacting their genetic ...

Using quantitative eDNA analyses to accurately estimate American bullfrog abundance and to evaluate management efficacy

Environmental DNA, 2022
Biological invasions contribute now more than ever to the global homogenization of fauna and flora. Large‐scale monitoring programs are, therefore, needed to detect incipient invasions and to evaluate management interventions.
