Scimitar-horned oryx, now considered extinct in the wild, persists large numbers captivity. In this first molecular genetic study on species, we explore patterns of diversity across European, North American, and a few other captive groups using microsatellite markers mitochondrial control region sequencing. Strong population structure was not evident from data but discovered deep divergence within DNA haplotypes network analysis where three disconnected networks were obtained, with estimated...
Abstract Herbivores are major drivers of ecosystem structure, diversity, and function. Resilient ecosystems therefore require viable herbivore populations in a sustainable balance with environmental resource availability. This is becoming harder to achieve, increasingly threatened species reliant on small protected areas harsh unpredictable environments. Arid environments North Africa exemplify this situation, featuring biologically distinct assemblage exposed extreme volatile conditions,...
Abstract Threatened species are frequently patchily distributed across small wild populations, ex situ populations managed with varying levels of intensity and reintroduced populations. Best practice advocates for integrated management in Wild addax ( Addax nasomaculatus ) now number fewer than 100 individuals, yet 1000 remain which can provide reintroductions, as has been the case Tunisia since mid‐1980s. However, requires genetic data to ascertain relationships between that have incomplete...
Despite occurring widely across Europe and Asia, the Sand lizard Lacerta agilis is threatened in north‐western part of its range had disappeared from much former habitat England Wales prior to concerted conservation action. A breeding population established at Marwell Zoo, UK , contributed re‐establishment 26 populations lizards heathland coastal dune sites southern as a wider multi‐stakeholder response reverse decline species. Knowledge about biology was accrued during process, which helped...

Abstract The highly persecuted African houbara ( Chlamydotis undulata ) is thought to persist in Tunisia's arid‐lands. Recent reports have, however, failed observe the species and concluded that it was on verge of extinction. We deployed camera‐traps three national parks (NPs) were sites for large scale habitat restoration mega‐herbivore reintroductions. Sampling 20,382 camera days Dghoumes NP, 14,377 Jbil NP 4,006 Sidi Toui NP. report one observation highlight benefits conservation wider...

Abstract Threatened species are frequently patchily distributed across small wild populations, ex situ populations managed with varying levels of intensity, and reintroduced populations. Best practice advocates for integrated management in Wild addax ( Addax nasomaculatus ) now number fewer than 100 individuals, yet thousands remain which can provide reintroductions, as has been the case Tunisia mid-1980s. However, requires genetic data to ascertain relationships between that have incomplete...
