Sparse genetic data limit biodiversity assessments in protected areas globally

Ivan Paz‐Vinas, Amy G. Vandergast, Chloé Schmidt, Deborah M. Leigh et autres

Global conservation targets include protecting genetic diversity within species. Yet few studies have assessed whether protected areas (PAs) include genetically diverse populations across species globally. A first step is understanding the availability of population genetic data that could be used in these …

A Survey of Mammal and Fish Genetic Diversity Across the Global Protected Area Network

Chloé Schmidt, Eleana Karachaliou, Amy G. Vandergast, Eric D. Crandall et autres

ABSTRACT Global conservation targets aim to expand protected areas and maintain species’ genetic diversity. Whether protected areas capture genetic diversity is unclear. We examined this question using a global sample of nuclear population‐level microsatellite data comprising genotypes from 2513 sites, 134,183 individuals, …

Restoring genetic diversity to facilitate the implementation of the EU Nature Restoration Law

David O’Brien, Tsipe Aavik, Ancuța Fedorca, Martin C. Fischer et autres

Governments and economic blocs are recognising that the world faces a biodiversity crisis. The restoration of biodiversity to the levels prior to widespread human induced damage has been incorporated as a crucial component of conservation in the Global Biodiversity Framework of the …

DNA-based studies and genetic diversity indicator assessments are complementary approaches to conserving evolutionary potential

Sean Hoban, Ivan Paz‐Vinas, Robyn E. Shaw, Luis Castillo‐Reina et autres

Abstract Genetic diversity is essential for maintaining healthy populations and ecosystems. Several approaches have recently been developed to evaluate population genetic trends without necessarily collecting new genetic data. Such “genetic diversity indicators” enable rapid, large-scale evaluation across dozens to thousands of species. …

The global protected area network does not harbor genetically diverse populations

Chloé Schmidt, Eleana Karachaliou, Amy G. Vandergast, Eric D. Crandall et autres

Global biodiversity conservation targets include expanding protected areas and maintaining genetic diversity within species by 2030. However, the extent to which existing protected areas capture genetic diversity within species is unclear. We examined this question using a global sample of nuclear population-level …

Protecting genetic diversity to benefit nature and society

Francine Kershaw

Protecting genetic diversity to benefit nature and society There are three ways that governments and other conservation actors at all levels can monitor and protect genetic diversity, supporting the attainment of biodiversity goals and targets. But first, what is genetic diversity, and …

Too simple, too complex, or just right? Advantages, challenges, and guidance for indicators of genetic diversity

Sean Hoban, Jessica Marie da Silva, Alice Catherine Hughes, Margaret E. Hunter et autres

Abstract Measuring genetic diversity of wild species using DNA-based data remains resource intensive and time consuming for nearly all species. However, genetic assessments are needed for global conservation commitments, including the Convention on Biological Diversity, and for governments and managers to evaluate …

A pragmatic approach for integrating molecular tools into biodiversity conservation

Laura D. Bertola, Anna Brüniche–Olsen, Francine Kershaw, Isa‐Rita M. Russo et autres

Abstract Molecular tools are increasingly applied for assessing and monitoring biodiversity and informing conservation action. While recent developments in genetic and genomic methods provide greater sensitivity in analysis and the capacity to address new questions, they are not equally available to all …

Uneven genetic data limits biodiversity assessments in protected areas globally

Ivan Paz‐Vinas, Amy G. Vandergast, Chloé Schmidt, Deborah M. Leigh et autres

Increasing the extent of protected areas (PA) through 30x30 and other area-based conservation initiatives can help to achieve global biodiversity conservation goals across all biodiversity levels. However, intraspecific genetic variation, the foundational level of biodiversity, is rarely explicitly considered in PA design …
