The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

Biodiversity is under threat worldwide. Over the past decade, the field of population
genomics has developed across nonmodel organisms, and the results of this research have …

The unprecedented rate of extinction calls for efficient use of genetics to help conserve
biodiversity. Several recent genomic and simulation-based studies have argued that the …

Local adaptations can determine the potential of populations to respond to environmental
changes, yet adaptive genetic variation is commonly ignored in models forecasting species …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to the genetic material that can be extracted from bulk
environmental samples such as soil, water, and even air. The rapidly expanding study of …

Abstract “Conservation genomics” encompasses the idea that genome-scale data will
improve the capacity of resource managers to protect species. Although genetic approaches …

International agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) have
committed to conserve, and sustainably and equitably use, biodiversity. The CBD is a vital …

I consider how the study of genetic variation has influenced efforts to conserve natural
populations over the last 50 years. Studies with allozymes in the 1970s provided the first …

Billions of hectares of natural ecosystems have been degraded through human actions. The
global community has agreed on targets to halt and reverse these declines, and the …

Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …
