TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the feasibility and likely benefits of this approach in conservation and find that conserving genome-wide genetic variation is generally the best approach to prevent inbreeding depression and loss of adaptive potential from driving populations toward extinction.

TL;DR: This paper found that conserving genome-wide genetic variation is generally the best approach to prevent inbreeding depression and loss of adaptive potential from driving populations towards extinction, and that focusing conservation efforts on presumably functional genetic variation will only be feasible occasionally, often misleading, and counterproductive when prioritized over genome wide genetic variation.

TL;DR: This work leverage 155 genome assemblies, from 149 species, to generate a fossil-calibrated phylogeny and conduct multilocus tests for introgression across nine monophyletic radiations within the genus Drosophila, providing the first evidence of introgressive events occurring across the evolutionary history of this genus.

TL;DR: The authors used Oxford Nanopore sequencing to build an open community resource of genome assemblies for 101 lines of 93 drosophilid species encompassing 14 species groups and 35 sub-groups.
