The goal of conservation breeding and reintroduction programs is to help re-establish or support declining populations in the wild, but there are challenges to successful implementation. Captive and w...

The Ontario government has abandoned the Province's endangered and threatened fish and birds. It is up to the federal government to step in.

Effective population size (Ne) is a key concept in biology and conservation. Stripped to its bare essentials, it reflects how much genetic drift a population experiences, expressed as a number of ind...

A capacity to adapt is essential for a population to avoid extinction in a changing world and is recognised as a global conservation priority. Adaptation requires additive (heritable) genetic variatio...

Inbreeding and inbreeding depression pose a critical challenge to the persistence of small and isolated populations, driving the need for precise assessment of genomic metrics. Genome-wide runs of ho...

Findings speak to the dramatic impact ants and termites can have on mammalian evolution

Our study uses quantitative genetic modeling to investigate morphological changes in a captive population of endangered Eastern loggerhead shrikes to understand the drivers of phenotypic change in a ...

A comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity covering more than three decades of research demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation i...

The ultimate tool for finding the perfect color palette for data visualization with R and paletteer. Explore over 2000 palettes, see them in action on various charts, simulate color blindness, and exp...

About four million common murres were killed by a domino effect of ecosystem changes, and the population is showing no signs of recovery, according to new research.
