Abstract Genetic monitoring of populations currently attracts interest in the context Convention on Biological Diversity but needs long-term planning and investments. However, genetic diversity has been largely neglected biodiversity monitoring, when addressed, it is treated separately, detached from other conservation issues, such as habitat alteration due to climate change. We report an accounting efforts monitor population Europe (genetic effort, GME), evaluation which can help guide...
Reintroductions may produce populations that suffer from decreasing genetic diversity due to isolation, drift and inbreeding if not assisted by careful management. To assess the outcomes of reintroductions in large carnivores, we used Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) as a case study, which was subject several reintroduction attempts over last 50 years. Although some restocking actions initially appeared successful, recovery has stagnated recent reveal potential causes slow Europe, examined...
Population structure and barriers to gene flow are important components for understanding the evolutionary history of a species. Here we study population differentiation in western capercaillie (Aves: Phasianidae) along Carpathian Mountains. Further, compared levels among from Mountains, Balkans (Bulgaria) boreal forest (Russia Sweden) order reveal past current processes which may influence structure. Tissue samples, non-invasive faeces feathers toe pads museum specimens were used genetic...
Understanding how large carnivores utilize space is crucial for management planning in human-dominated landscape and enhances the accuracy of population size estimates. However, Eurasian lynx display a inter-population variation home ranges across their European range which makes extrapolation to broader areas species distribution problematic. This study evaluates variations 35 Western Carpathians during 2011-2022 based on GPS telemetry explains intrinsic environmental factors shape spatial...
Abstract In modern wildlife ecology, spatial population genetic methods are becoming increasingly applied. Especially for animal species in fragmented landscapes, preservation of gene flow becomes a high priority target order to restore diversity and prevent local extinction. Within Central Europe, the Alps represent core distribution area black grouse, Lyrurus tetrix . At its easternmost Alpine range, events subpopulation extinction have already been documented past decades. Molecular data...

Abstract Novel genomic tools can yield information important for the conservation of threatened species. Remains hunted individuals may provide information; however, ethics using remains animals research, especially trophy‐hunted animals, is controversial. While there are ongoing political discussions considering blanket bans on import and use specimens, consequences such science have not been broadly discussed. Should accept samples acquired through legal trophy hunting? We investigate...
Abstract The intensification of agricultural practices and urbanisation are widespread causes biodiversity loss. However, the role artificial habitats in genetic rescue is an aspect that not well understood. Implementing measures to improve gene flow maintain a viable population keystone species crucial prerequisite for promoting diverse resilient ecosystems.

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...
