The potential and shortcomings of mitochondrial DNA analysis for cheetah conser...
Meißner, René; Winter, Sven; Westerhüs, Uta; Sliwa, Alexander; Greve, Carola; Bottriell, Lena Godsall; Bottriell, Paul; Fernandes, C; Vercammen, PaulThere are only about 7,100 adolescent and adult cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) remaining in the wild. With the majority occurring outside protected areas, their numbers are rapidly declining. Evidence-based conservation measures are essential for the survival of this species. Genetic data is routinely used to inform conservation strategies, e.g., by establishing conservation units (CU). A commonly used marker in c...
Genomic analyses show extremely perilous conservation status of African and Asi...
Prost, Stefan; Machado, Ana Paula; Zumbroich, Julia; Preier, Lisa; Mahtani‐Williams, Sarita; Meissner, Rene; Guschanski, Katerina; Brealey, Jaelle C.We live in a world characterized by biodiversity loss and global environmental change. The extinction of large carnivores can have ramifying effects on ecosystems like an uncontrolled increase in wild herbivores, which in turn can have knock-on impacts on vegetation regeneration and communities. Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) serve important ecosystem functions as apex predators; yet, they are quickly heading towa...
