A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1904-1924, September 2026.
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Ecology of declining populations of gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in Indiana, USA Ecología de las poblaciones en declive de zorros grises (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) en Indiana, EE.UU.

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 226, Issue 1, September 2026.
We estimated seasonal space use, cover selection, and resource selection; evaluated gene flow and potential genetic barriers; and assessed cause‐specific survival rates and reproduction of radiomarked gray foxes in Indiana, USA. Our results provide evidence that gray foxes in Indiana are an edge species with relatively large home ranges, relatively low

Partition of the genetic trend to validate multiple selection decisions

open access: yesAnimal, 2008
In this note, a procedure to partition the genetic trend of a selected population is presented. Each part of the genetic gain accounts for the Mendelian sampling terms of different groups of animals, which can be sometimes assigned to different selection

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1017-1028, July 2026.
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Identifying Key Biodiversity Areas Based on Distinct Genetic Diversity

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity. Distinct genetic diversity has been introduced as one of the metrics to estimate whether a site holds a threshold proportion of a species' global genetic diversity during the KBA identification process.

Mapping transmission ratio distortion QTLs in a turbot farmed population

open access: yesAnimal
Transmission ratio distortion (TRD) occurs when alleles from one parent are preferentially transmitted to offspring, resulting in deviations from Mendelian expectations. Recent methodological advances allow the evaluation of two independent TRD scenarios
