Mashup Score: 3Following in polar bears' footprints: DNA from snow tracks could help monitor threatened animals - 4 month(s) ago
Monitoring the populations of threatened animals like polar bears and snow leopards is crucial to safeguarding these populations for the future. Scientists have now discovered a non-invasive method of capturing DNA from animal tracks in snow which could allow detailed analysis at a distance.

Mashup Score: 1Saving moths may be just as important as saving the bees - 10 month(s) ago
Night-time pollinators such as moths may visit just as many plants as bees, and should also be the focus of conservation and protection efforts, a new study from the University of Sheffield suggests.

Mashup Score: 2Genetics as conservation tool for endangered chimpanzees - 1 year(s) ago
The western chimpanzees of Guinea are threatened by mining activities. Using a novel genetic approach, UZH researchers and an international team have collected information on population size and community structure of the endangered species. These data provide an important baseline to assess the impact of mining.

Intact forest landscapes (IFLs) provide important ecosystem services, yet degradation and fragmentation caused by various industries, which often precede agriculture-dominated deforestation, have not been sufficiently quantified. International trade of land-based commodities has also accelerated IFL loss. We investigate the links of global supply chains with IFL loss and reveal the significant…

Mashup Score: 4Incorporating evolutionary and threat processes into crop wild relatives conservation - Nature Communications - 1 year(s) ago
Crop wild relatives’ genetic diversity is usually not considered in conservation planning. Here, the authors introduce an approach to identify conservation areas based on evolutionary and threat processes, by developing proxies of genetic differentiation, and including taxa’s habitat preferences.
