Conservation of endangered and threatened species will require a combination of in situ and ex situ programs, both of which will benefit from better knowledge of species’ population genetic structure, as will assessments of threatened status. Here we develop a cost-effective method of obtaining population-level genomic data from across the range of the Mexican cycad, Dioon holmgreni , and use these data to characterize the genetic structure and diversity of the species. We also reconstruct aspects of the demographic history of the species and evaluate the taxonomic cohesion of populations across the range using genomic and morphological data. We find that D. holmgrenii harbors moderate genetic diversity across genetically and geographically isolated populations that each possess a substantial percentage of private alleles. We further find that the history of this species likely includes a widespread range expansion followed by fragmentation due to population contraction. These results argue for conservation of all populations and their unique alleles but also suggest an unexpected ability of this species to maintain genetic diversity despite dramatic reductions in population size.","PeriodicalId":55212,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Genetics","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135482399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This narrow focus overlooks key components of biological diversity, particularly the infra-species genetic diversity, which is critical to consider with respect to genetic adaptation in changing environments. While comparative population genetics is recognized as a relevant approach to improve biodiversity management, it is still barely considered in practice. Here, a comparative population genetics study was conducted on two key habitat-forming octocoral species, Corallium rubrum and Paramuricea clavata , to contribute to management of two Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the northwestern Mediterranean. Contrasting patterns of genetic diversity and structure were observed in the two species, although they share many common biological features and live in similar habitats. Differential genetic drift effects induced by species-specific reproductive strategies and demographic histories most likely explain these differences. The translation of our results into management strategies supports the definition of four management units. We identified a coldspot of genetic diversity, with genetically isolated populations, and a hotspot of genetic diversity that has a central role in the system’s connectivity. Interestingly, they corresponded to the most recent and the oldest protected areas, respectively. This case study shows how moving from a “species pattern” perspective to an “eco-evolutionary processes” perspective can help assess and contribute to the effectiveness of biodiversity management plans.","PeriodicalId":55212,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Genetics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136341713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most taxa have yet to benefit from the full application of genomic technologies. The mountain yellow-legged frog species complex, Rana muscosa and Rana sierrae, inhabits the Sierra Nevada mountains and Transverse/Peninsular Ranges of California and Nevada. Both species have declined precipitously throughout their historical distributions. Conservation management plans outline extensive ongoing recovery efforts but are still based on the genetic structure determined primarily using a single mitochondrial sequence. Our study used two different sequencing strategies – amplicon sequencing and exome capture – to refine our understanding of the population genetics of these imperiled amphibians. We used buccal swabs, museum tissue samples, and archived skin swabs to genotype frog populations across their range. Using the amplicon sequencing and exome capture datasets separately and combined, we document five major genetic clusters. Notably, we found evidence supporting previous species boundaries within Kings Canyon National Park with some exceptions at individual sites. Though we see evidence of genetic clustering, especially in the R. muscosa clade, we also found evidence of some admixture across cluster boundaries in the R. sierrae clade, suggesting a stepping-stone model of population structure. We also find that the southern R. muscosa cluster had large runs of homozygosity and the lowest overall heterozygosity of any of the clusters, consistent with previous reports of marked declines in this area. Overall, our results clarify management unit designations across the range of an endangered species and highlight the importance of sampling the entire range of a species, even when collecting genome-scale data.","PeriodicalId":55212,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Genetics","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilized nuclear microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic markers to investigate hybridization signals and compare the genetic diversity of different tilapiines in Lake Victoria, Kenya, using next-generation sequencing. Low levels of hybridization from Oreochromis niloticus into other Oreochromis species were detected by Bayesian clustering analysis and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA).
