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...
Seascape genomics and phylogeography of the sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus)
Ferrette, Bruno Lopes da Silva; Coimbra, Raphael T F; Winter, Sven; De Jong, Menno J; Williams, Samuel Mackey; Coelho, Rui; Rosa, DanielaPermeable phylogeographic barriers characterize the vast open ocean, boosting gene flow and counteracting population differentiation and speciation of widely distributed and migratory species. However, many widely distributed species consists of distinct populations throughout their distribution, evidencing that our understanding of how the marine environment triggers population and species divergence are insuf...
