Abstract The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis has caused the most prominent loss of vertebrate diversity ever recorded, which peaked in 1980s. Recent incursion by its sister species B. salamandrivorans Europe raised alarm for a new wave declines and extinctions western Palearctic urodeles. European Commission responded restricting amphibian trade. However, private collections, main end consumers, were exempted from legislation. Here, we report how invasion released, exotic newt...
ABSTRACT The Iberian lynx was at the brink of extinction by year 2000 but has since then, and thanks to intensive conservation measures, gone through a remarkable recovery, providing much‐welcomed encouraging success story. Genetic issues have probably contributed decline in past, genetic management inbreeding diversity is likely contributing its recent recovery. species an early adopter genomic approaches, combination extreme decline, monitoring programme extensive resources data makes...
ABSTRACT Many methods are now available to calculate N e , but their performance varies depending on assumptions. Although simulated data useful discover certain types of bias, real empirical supported by detailed known population histories allow us discern how well perform with actual messy and complex data. Here, we focus two genomic sets grey wolf populations for which size changes the past 40–120 years documented. We use this background explore in what detail can retrieve history from...
Abstract The Atlantic-Mediterranean marine transition is characterised by strong oceanographic barriers and steep environmental gradients that generally result in connectivity breaks between populations from both basins may lead to local adaptation. Here, we performed a population genomic study of the black brittle star, Ophiocomina nigra , covering most its distribution range along region. Interestingly, O. extremely variable coloration, with individuals ranging yellow-orange, different...
The sea urchin Diadema africanum is a macro-herbivore found in the rocky reef systems of West African region and Macaronesian archipelagos. Over several decades, high densities this species have generated marine barrens certain areas at Canary Islands. In contrast, more recently, during last few years, has suffered mass mortality events that continue to present day. study, we used 9,109 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) fragment mitochondrial gene evaluate species' population structure,...
ABSTRACT Effective population size ( Ne ) is one of the most important parameters in evolutionary biology, as it linked to long‐term survival capability species. Therefore, greatly interests conservation geneticists, but also very relevant policymakers, managers, and practitioners. Molecular methods estimate rely on various assumptions, including no immigration, panmixia, random sampling, absence spatial genetic structure, and/or mutation‐drift equilibrium. Species are, however, often...
