Landscape Context and Environmental Stochasticity Shape Genetic Management Outcomes in an Amphibian

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Landscape context can influence demographic rates and, consequently, the population genetic processes determining levels of genetic diversity. However, the role of landscape context is not always sufficiently considered in conservation management.

Inbreeding and Demographic History of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Western Canada Inferred From Genome‐Wide SNP Data

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Assessing genetic diversity is essential for conserving endangered populations, yet comprehensive genomic evaluations remain limited for many declining species. Here, we investigated inbreeding levels and effective population sizes (Ne) of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in western Canada, where populations have experienced pronounced declines ...

Genetic and Ecological Management of Pacific Salmon Fisheries for the 21st Century

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 633-645, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Based on ecological adaptation theory, tremendous effort is being spent on measures that are eliminating salmon hatcheries and fishing opportunities with the intention of protecting wild runs deemed to be of particular genetic importance to the survival of the species.

Socioeconomic and policy implications on genetic improvement for sustainable aquaculture productivity in Kenya: A review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Aquaculture in Kenya is rapidly expanding and has become an important subsector for promoting food security, employment creation, and economic diversification, as capture fisheries continue to decline amid rising demand for fish. This review examines the socioeconomic and policy implications of genetic improvement of farmed fish species in ...

Range‐Wide Genetic Population Structure and Environmental Adaptation in the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Provides Insight for Aquaculture

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Selective breeding in aquaculture is necessary to establish food security and meet demand for sustainably produced protein. An informed selective breeding program requires understanding how population structure, environmental adaptation, and human activities shape natural genetic variation in wild conspecifics.

Over‐Representation of Sperm‐Associated Deleterious Mutations Across Wild and Ex Situ Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) Populations

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT As purifying selection becomes less effective and inbreeding increases, small populations frequently develop an increased load of genome‐wide deleterious mutations. Reflecting this pattern, deleterious mutations in genes associated with fertility and immunity have previously been identified in the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), which has had a ...

Inbreeding in a Fission–Fusion Equid Decreases Following an Increase in the Number and Redistribution of Water Sources

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Social structures and habitat configuration influence inbreeding in wild populations. In harem‐forming, female‐defence polygynous equids, social organization promotes inbreeding avoidance, but this has not been studied in fission–fusion, resource‐defence equid species.
