Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Genomics can play important roles in biodiversity conservation, especially for Extinct‐in‐the‐Wild species where genetic factors greatly influence risk of total extinction and probability of successful reintroductions. The Christmas Island blue‐tailed skink (Cryptoblepharus egeriae) and Lister's gecko (Lepidodactylus listeri) are two endemic ...

Establishing and monitoring island breeding colonies to conserve an imperiled lagomorph
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Islands have a long history in species conservation and are often employed because they have fewer predators and competitors than mainland sites. Recently, 2 islands have been established as breeding colonies to support New England cottontail conservation. In the right circumstances, islands could be used to support the conservation of other lagomorphs

The practice and promise of temporal genomics for measuring evolutionary responses to global change
Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Understanding the evolutionary consequences of anthropogenic change is imperative for estimating long‐term species resilience. While contemporary genomic data can provide us with important insights into recent demographic histories, investigating past change using present genomic data alone has limitations.

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract The absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide is causing significant changes to the carbonate chemistry of the ocean, in a phenomenon called ocean acidification. The latter makes it potentially more difficult for marine calcifiers like corals, to build their calcium carbonate structures, thus affecting their ability to survive and reproduce ...

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data
Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.Abstract The Japanese turban snail Lunella coreensis is sensitive to ocean currents due to its short pelagic larval stage and moderate dispersal ability, making it an ideal model for studying genetic diversity shaped by paleoclimatic shifts. In this study, we analyzed the mitochondrial genes COI and 12S of museum samples collected from various coasts ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Conservation genomic studies in non‐model organisms generally rely on reduced representation sequencing techniques based on restriction enzymes to identify population structure as well as candidate loci for local adaptation. While the expectation is that the reduced representation of the genome is randomly distributed, the proportion of the ...

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) p.L1795F variant was proposed as a genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its prevalence, phenotype, and origin remain unknown. Objective The aim was to evaluate the frequency and phenotype of p.L1795F in early‐onset PD (EOPD) and familial PD compared to healthy controls (HC ...

, 2007 Statistically resolving the underlying haplotype pair for a genotype measurement is an important intermediate step in gene mapping studies, and has received much attention recently. Consequently, a variety of methods for this problem have been developed.

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by parkinsonism and impairments in balance, language, and cognition. As an atypical parkinsonism, PSP progresses rapidly, lacks effective treatments, and poses significant caregiving burdens. While prior studies have identified risk factors, they
