Early Contributions Leading to Understanding the Significance of Epichloë Endophyte in Temperate Grasses

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 5, October 2026.
The role and use of Epichloë fungal endophytes in grazed temperate grass pastures and turf grasses are now well understood with regard to balancing pasture persistence while minimising animal health and welfare concerns. However, this understanding has only emerged since the early 1980s. Prior to this, although links between Epichloë endophytes, animal

Understanding natal emigration in group‐living carnivores

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 2076-2087, October 2026.
Dispersal is a key ecological and evolutionary process, yet drivers of variation in emigration under human‐modified conditions remain understudied. Using a novel genetic approach applied to harvested grey wolves in Idaho, USA, we found that prey availability and population density shape natal emigration patterns in a cooperative breeder.

A Genomic Tool to Tackle Cryptic Diversity Demonstrates the Potential for Off‐Target Use of GT‐Seq Panels

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive understanding of life history is vital to successful species conservation and management. When different life history stages are accompanied by considerable morphological or cryptic variation, such as the egg and larval phases exhibited by most fishes, genomic tools are essential for identifying species so that early‐life ...

Importance of using genetic data to inform conservation captive breeding: A tale of two species of threatened macaws (Ara spp.)

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Unmanaged captive populations of threatened species often harbor hidden genetic risks, so using genomic tools, we audited a large private macaw collection and uncovered extensive hybridization and high inbreeding. Our findings provide an actionable framework for how routine genetic screening can be used to mitigate these risks, manage captive breeding ...

Integrating cryobanks into conservation frameworks: The case of boreal caribou in Ontario

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Conservation cryobanks are a powerful but underutilized complement to conventional recovery strategies such as habitat protection and population monitoring. Here, we present a transferable, stepwise framework for integrating cryobanking into formal species recovery plans, including guidance on population prioritization, partner engagement, and the ...

The Great Dividing Range as a driver of genetic divergence in a low‐dispersing dragonfly

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 1002-1016, October 2026.
Population genomic analyses revealed low genetic differentiation and no discrete population structure across the Great Dividing Range, indicating widespread gene flow in Synthemis eustalacta. Genetic divergence was associated with environmental gradients, elevation and landscape resistance rather than geographic distance, supporting isolation by ...

Edge‐Rich Landscapes Promote Genetic Diversity While Arable Land Restricts It: Landscape‐Genomic Patterns Across Three Insect Species in an Agriculture‐Dominated Grassland Mosaic

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Habitat loss and agricultural intensification are major drivers of insect decline, yet their consequences for intraspecific genetic diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we used landscape genomics to compare genome‐wide diversity, population differentiation and spatial patterns of gene flow in two butterfly species (Polyommatus icarus ...
