IUCN Red ListGenetic diversityData standardizationGenetic diversity is critical for adaptation in response to changing environments and provides a valuable metric for predicting species' extinction risk. The In
We also used population genetics based on the COI marker to estimate and compare the genetic diversity of extant populations. We found that Europe still provides highly suitable habitats close to the climatic optimum, contradicting the assumption of climate change as major driver of this decline. ...
Genetic diversity analysis is of great importance in modern-day conservation, and without knowing the genetic status of the population it is hard to implement proper conservation measures and secure long term survival of the total population in the nowadays fast-changing environment and habitat fragment...
One of which, relevant here, was proposed by L ande8, who suggested that species are often driven to extinction before genetic consequences have time to take effect. However, a bulk of empirical evidence indicates the contrary9, and more recently, reduced genetic diversity has been ...
The conservation of genetic diversity is a major target of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and of the EU Nature Restoration Law, as it provides populations with the potential to evolutionary adapt to the ongoing environmental challenges. However, genetic diversity has often been negle...
A low genetic diversity but a significant genetic differentiation were detected (Na=2.509, Np=3.8, Ra=2.423, AE=1.635, HO=0.177, He=0.340). The five populations presented obvious inbreeding phenomenon given the high value of inbreeding coefficient (Fis=0.462) and low value of outcrossing rate ...
27] in studies of shea tree species. Most of these studies have used these molecular markers to access the genetic diversity and population structure of shea tree species. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were applied to study the genetic diversity and population structure of ...
Rhododendron nymphaeoides is explicitly listed as an endangered species in the “the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List (IUCN)”, “The Red List of Rhododendrons”, “Red List of China’s Higher Plants” and “Threatened Species L
One of the important variables in evolutionary biology and population genetics is the effective population size (eNste2).1D. Nuee is the size of to violations an of ideal population which has the same genetic diversity as the actual population of the ideal scenario (e.g. all specimens should ...
Conservation geneticists tend to prioritize maximizing genetic diversity rather than minimizing the genetic load111, but with better data and understanding of the genetic load, a more balanced approach is likely to improve conservation outcomes112. Future directions Towards a standardized use of genomic ...
