Freshwater biodiversity loss is accelerating globally, but humanity can change this trajectory
through actions that enable recovery. To be successful, these actions require coordination …

Translocation programmes are increasingly being informed by genetic data to monitor and
enhance conservation outcomes for both natural and established populations. These data …

Conservation genetics and genomics examines the role of evolutionary and genetic
processes in the persistence of organisms, and its research is intended to inform biodiversity …

An updated checklist for living American marsupial species (orders Didelphimorphia,
Microbiotheria, and Paucituberculata) is presented here. It includes 22 genera and 137 …

The impacts of a changing climate threaten species, populations and ecosystems. Despite
these significant and large-scale impacts on threatened species, many remain understudied …

Genome sequencing is a powerful tool that can inform the management of threatened
species. Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are a globally recognized species that captured …

Koala populations show marked differences in inbreeding levels and in the presence or
absence of the endogenous Koala retrovirus (KoRV). These genetic differences among …

Genetic management is a critical component of threatened species conservation.
Understanding spatial patterns of genetic diversity is essential for evaluating the resilience …

Wildlife translocation is increasingly utilized as a conservation management action, to
mitigate the immediate negative effects of habitat loss and fragmentation (eg from land …

This chapter outlines the history of molecular evolutionary research in australidelphian
marsupials, along with the genetic and genomic advances that have provided insights into …
