Abstract Under the recently adopted Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, 196 Parties committed to reporting status of genetic diversity for all species. To facilitate reporting, three indicators were developed, two which focus on processes contributing conservation: maintaining genetically distinct populations and ensuring are large enough maintain diversity. The major advantage these is that they can be estimated with or without DNA‐based data. However, demonstrating their...
In December 2022, the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, in which 196 Parties, for first time, committed to report status of genetic diversity all species. To facilitate this reporting, three indicators were developed, two focus processes contributing loss: loss genetically distinct populations (measured by complementary indicator “proportion maintained within species”) and being too small maintain headline A4, “The...
Abstract Wnt ligands are key signaling molecules in animals, but little is known about the evolutionary dynamics and mode of action WntA orthologs, which not present vertebrates or Drosophila . Here we show that subfamily evolved at base Bilateria + Cnidaria clade, conserved thumb region Ser209 acylation site most other Wnts, suggesting requires core secretory pathway. proteins distinguishable from Wnts by a synapomorphic Iso/Val/Ala216 amino‐acid residue replaces otherwise ubiquitous Thr216...
