TL;DR: The importance of harmonizing existing data, intensifying long-term monitoring efforts including demographics and health assessments, standardizing and implementing monitoring protocols, and increasing stakeholder engagement/contributions are highlighted.

TL;DR: This work analyzes genome-wide SNP variability of FBDs across Eurasia, and shows that they display weak genetic structure and are genetically distinct from pure-breed dogs rather than constituting an admixture of breeds, and suggests that modern European breeds originated locally from European FBDs.

TL;DR: Belyaev et al. as discussed by the authors used a tag on the back of a Eurasian blackbird (Turdus merula) that had migrated to its wintering grounds in Albania, switched on its transmitter as the International Space Station (ISS) passed 410 km above, sending global positioning system (GPS) location data on the bird's recent whereabouts as well as onboard sensor data, which the International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space (ICARUS) receiver aboard the Russian Zvezda Module of the ISS picked up and returned to scientists back on Earth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized the genetic diversity in European moose in order to determine its genetic structure and the location of genetic hotspots as a way of inferring its population history and the number of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) refugia.

TL;DR: The results show that Eurasian lynx populations shared a common history until 100,000 years ago, when Asian and European populations started to diverge and both entered a period of continuous and widespread decline, with western populations, except Kirov, maintaining lower effective sizes than eastern populations.
