Evaluating inbreeding and assessing the risk of outbreeding depression in genetic rescue using whole-genome sequence data - the case of the marsh #fritillary 🦋🧬 Congratulations to @atengstedt.bsky.social & team! #inbreeding #geneticrescue

What is AGF? It’s the managed movement of individuals or sex cells between coral populations to boost traits like heat tolerance. Think of it as survival matchmaking. Dr. Andrew Baker (@miamirosenstiel.bsky.social) has been a leader in this work for decades.

1/8 👉ANIMAL POO MAY SAVE ENDANGERED SPECIES👈

Scientists pursue an innovative approach to wildlife conservation dubbed "the poo zoo"—using fresh animal dung to collect living cells that could ultimately help save endangered species from extinction.

Whole‐Genome Evaluation of Genetic Rescue: The Case of a Curiously Isolated and Endangered Butterfly Genetic rescue, or the translocation of individuals among populations to augment gene flow, can help ameliorate inbreeding depression and loss of adaptive potential in small and isolated populations. ...

Timely study challenging common perceptions of genetic rescue as the Holy Grail. Whole-genome sequencing of endangered butterfly & predictor collinearity eco-niche modeling suggest it would be deleterious for this sp. Of course, depends upon assumptions used in the modeling. #geneticrescue

2 years ago I saved 300 square ft of moss from a forest before it was logged, and moved it into the adjacent creekside ravine where the moss is still alive. #moss #forests #geneticrescue #restoration #ecology #ecoart #conceptualart
