Population genomic analysis of Mahoenui giant wētā (Deinacrida mahoenui) reveals minimal reduction in genomic diversity following translocation

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The Mahoenui giant wētā is an Aotearoa New Zealand endemic insect of conservation concern, having been extirpated from the majority of its natural range before rediscovery in the 1960s.

Museomics and Salvaged Feathers Piece Together the Evolutionary History and Conservation Genomics of the Elusive, Critically Endangered Night Parrot (Pezoporus occidentalis)

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Night Parrot is a critically endangered nocturnal bird of Australia's arid zone. The species was “lost” for most of the 20th century until its rediscovery in 1990. Extant populations are now known in eastern and western Australia, but the species has been extirpated from much of its historical range.
