Modeling long‐term population viability to inform recovery of a functionally extinct urban Blanding's turtle population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

Incorporating Population Genomic Perspectives Into Kelp Conservation and Aquaculture in the Pacific Northwest

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent kelp forest declines and growth in the kelp aquaculture industry have fueled increasing interest in ecological and evolutionary research on kelp forests, including kelp population genomics. Although many kelp management activities have inherent genetic and evolutionary implications, kelp management in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of ...

Multidisciplinary Evaluation of a 10‐Year Restoration Program for Two Endangered Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Populations

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Supportive breeding programs are widely implemented to counteract demographic collapse in threatened populations. Their long‐term success, however, depends on maintaining genetic diversity while ensuring that released individuals contribute effectively to wild populations.

Total Numbers and Movements of Photo‐Identified Subantarctic (Type D) Killer Whales

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The distinctive Subantarctic (Type D) killer whale (DKW) (Orcinus orca) is a highly divergent and apparently inbred form previously known only from three mass strandings and several dozen at‐sea sightings, primarily from Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) longline vessels in the southern Indian Ocean and from tourism vessels in ...

Nonequivalent lethal equivalents: Models and inbreeding metrics for unbiased estimation of inbreeding load

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2019
Inbreeding depression, the deterioration in mean trait value in progeny of related parents, is a fundamental quantity in genetics, evolutionary biology, animal and plant breeding, and conservation biology.

Using herbarium collections to study genetic responses to global change

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 637-644, July 2026.
Summary Earth's c. 406 million herbarium specimens represent a largely untapped resource of genetic data that could transform our understanding of global plant populations. Advances in DNA sequencing have made the extraction of genetic data from these preserved specimens increasingly feasible, enabling new insights into plant biodiversity and ...

Comparison among Inbreeding Systems in Maize

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2001
The use of less severe inbreeding systems than self-fertilization has been suggested as a means of developing more vigorous maize lines (Zea mays L.). To compare different inbreeding systems, nine traits were evaluated in inbred lines developed by full ...

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4619-4639, July 2026.
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

Inbreeding depression for reproductive and yield related traits in S1 lines of maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2006
This research was conducted to determine inbreeding depression in S1 maize lines for reproductive and yield related traits, at NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan, in two successive seasons during 2002.
