In the current negotiations regarding revision of the Convention on Biological Diversity
(CBD) proposals have been made to strengthen the genetic goals, indicators, and targets for …

Many small, isolated populations lose genetic variation and suffer inbreeding, increasing
their extinction risk. Augmenting gene flow may alleviate these issues if populations are …

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 …

Animal and plant species around the world are being challenged by the deleterious effects
of inbreeding, loss of genetic diversity, and maladaptation due to widespread habitat …

Global conservation policy and action have largely neglected protecting and monitoring
genetic diversity—one of the three main pillars of biodiversity. Genetic diversity (diversity …

In a recent perspective paper, Teixeira and Huber (2021)(T&H hereafter) argue that “neutral
genetic diversity has only very limited relevance for conservation genetics”. They emphasize …

Landscape fragmentation and structure play a crucial role in determining the provision of
ecosystem services. Although there has been extensive research on the impact of shifting …

Coral reef restoration activity is accelerating worldwide in efforts to offset the rate of reef
health declines. Many advances have already been made in restoration practices centred …

Restoring gene flow among fragmented populations is discussed as a potentially powerful
management strategy that could reduce inbreeding depression and cause genetic rescue …

A critical component of ecosystem restoration projects involves using genetic data to select
source material that will enhance success under current and future climates. However, the …
