Challenges and opportunities for integrating genetic diversity monitoring in megadiverse countries: reflections from Mexico

The paper evaluates genetic diversity indicators in Mexico to assess their utility for biodiversity conservation and highlights challenges in integrating genetic diversity monitoring.

Chromosome-scale reference genomes for two walnuts: Juglans ailantifolia and Juglans cinerea implicate gene presence and absence in fungal defense divergence

The paper presents chromosome-scale genomes for two walnut species and identifies gene presence/absence differences linked to fungal defense mechanisms between tolerant and susceptible populations.

Conserving a threatened North American walnut: a chromosome-scale reference genome for butternut (Juglans cinerea)

The paper presents a chromosome-scale reference genome for butternut (Juglans cinerea), an endangered species, using Oxford Nanopore sequencing and scaffolding with a related species genome.

Practical application of indicators for genetic diversity in CBD post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework implementation

The paper applies three genetic diversity indicators to data from the Swedish Red-List 2020 and a government report to assess their feasibility for the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

Reduced representation sequencing to understand the evolutionary history of Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana Parry) with implications for rare species conservation

This study uses reduced representation sequencing to analyze the evolutionary processes in Torrey pine, finding low genetic diversity and evidence of divergent selection, suggesting potential trade-offs for genetic rescue strategies.
