Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of global climate change on genetic diversity within populations and species.
TL;DR: It is argued that studying the fate of intraspecifc genetic diversity is an indispensable and logical venture if the authors are to fully understand the consequences of GCC on biodiversity on all levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryptic biodiversity loss linked to global climate change
Miklós Bálint,Sami Domisch,C. H. M. Engelhardt,Peter Haase,Stephanie Lehrian,Jan Sauer,Kathrin Theissinger,Kathrin Theissinger,Steffen U. Pauls,Carsten Nowak +9 more
TL;DR: An analysis of the distribution and mitochondrial DNA variability of nine montane aquatic insect species in Europe suggests range contractions will be accompanied by severe loss of genetic diversity, implying morphospecies-scale assessments may greatly underestimate potential biodiversity losses from climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Merging paleobiology with conservation biology to guide the future of terrestrial ecosystems

TL;DR: Conservation efforts are currently in a state of transition, with active debate about the relative importance of preserving historical landscapes with minimal human impact on one end of the ideological spectrum versus manipulating novel ecosystems that result from human activities on the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of DNA taxonomy and barcoding for the inference of larval community structure in morphologically cryptic Chironomus (Diptera) species.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the community structure of sediment dwelling, morphologically cryptic Chironomus larvae in the Rhine-valley plain/Germany, comparing larval type classification, cytotaxonomy, DNA taxonomy and barcoding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wolf population genetics in Europe: a systematic review, meta-analysis and suggestions for conservation and management
Maris Hindrikson,Jaanus Remm,Malgorzata Pilot,Raquel Godinho,Astrid Vik Stronen,Laima Baltrūnaité,Sylwia D. Czarnomska,Jennifer A.

TL;DR: The most pressing issues threatening wolf populations in Europe are discussed, important gaps in current knowledge are highlighted, solutions to overcome these limitations are suggested, and recommendations for science‐based wolf conservation and management at regional and Europe‐wide scales are provided.
