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 ...

Species Distribution Models to Identify Drivers and Forms of Plant Species Rarity: Opportunities, Limitations and Research Needs

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Rare species increase diversity, provide unique ecosystem functions and serve as barometers of habitat health. However, many habitats are losing their rare species due to the pressures of climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation. Robust ecological data on the distribution of rare species, the causes of their rarity, their ecological ...

Machine‐Learning Models Trained on Genomic Summary Statistics Assess Extinction Risk and Recovery Potential of Bottlenecked Populations

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Forecasting extinction risk from genomic data is challenging because of interactions among environment, demography, and genomic erosion. Here, we use known outcomes from forward simulations as a proof‐of‐concept study to test whether machine‐learning (ML) models can discriminate relative extinction risk and recovery potential from genomic ...

Assessing Future Maladaptation Risk in the Keystone Species Populus tremuloides

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the adaptive potential of widespread trees is critical for predicting species resilience under climate change and informing their conservation strategies. We assessed the genomic offset in Populus tremuloides Michx. (aspen) using 10,937 genotyping‐by‐sequencing derived, high‐quality SNPs from 891 individuals sampled across the ...

Limited Lifetime Costs of Inbreeding in a Large Wild Population of Superb Fairy‐Wrens

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Inbreeding depression can have major negative effects on both individual fitness and population performance. The impact of inbreeding depression in wild populations remains poorly understood, and our knowledge is primarily based on estimations in insular populations with limited dispersal, which has been predicted to enhance the capacity for ...

Advancing Marine Mammal Conservation Through Omics Tools and Integration of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation of biodiversity is a global priority as human‐driven pressures continue to intensify and alter ecosystems worldwide. Marine mammals are vulnerable species, facing numerous escalating anthropogenic threats. Here, we evaluate how, as omics technologies become more accessible and affordable, established and emerging tools are ...
