Data from: Informing conservation strategies with museum genomics: Long-term effects of past anthropogenic persecution on the elusive European wildcat
<p>Like many carnivore species, European wildcats (<em>Felis silvestris</em>) have suffered severe anthropogenic population declines in the past, resulting in a strong population bottleneck in the beginning of the 20th century. In Germany, the species has managed to survive its near-extinction in small isolated areas and is currently recolonizing former habitats owing to legal protection and concerted conservation efforts. Here, we SNP genotyped and mtDNA sequenced 56 historical and 650 contemporary samples to assess the impact of massive persecution on genetic diversity, population structure and hybridization dynamics of wildcats. Spatiotemporal analyses suggest that the presumed postglacial differentiation between two genetically distinct metapopulations in Germany is in fact the result of the anthropogenic bottleneck followed by re-expansion from few secluded refugia. We found that, despite the bottleneck, populations experienced no severe genetic erosion, nor suffered from elevated inbreeding or showed signs of increased hybridization with domestic cats. Our findings have significant implications for current wildcat conservation strategies, as the data analyses show that the two presently recognized wildcat population clusters should be treated as a single conservation unit. Although current populations appear under no imminent threat from genetic factors, fostering connectivity through the implementation of forest corridors will facilitate the preservation of genetic diversity and promote long-term viability. The present study documents how museum collections can be used as essential resource for assessing long-term anthropogenic effects on natural populations, e.g., regarding population structure and the delineation of appropriate conservation units, potentially informing todays' species conservation.</p>

Open data for assessing habitats degree of conservation at plot level. An example dataset of forest structural attributes in Val d'Agri (Basilicata, Southern Italy)
<p>We provide a georeferenced dataset of vertical and horizontal structure of forest types belonging to 4 habitat types, sensu Council Directive 92/43/EEC. The dataset includes structural indicators commonly linked to old-growth forests in Europe, in particular the amount of standing and lying deadwood. We collected data on 32 plots (24 of 225 m<sup>2</sup>, and 8 of 100 m<sup>2</sup>, according to different forests type) during spring and summer of 2022, in Val d’Agri (Basilicata, Southern Italy). The dataset we provide follows the common national standard for field data collection in forest habitat types, published by ISPRA in 2016 (https://www.isprambiente.gov.it/public_files/direttiva-habitat/Manuale-142-2016.pdf) with the aim to promote a greater homogeneity in assessment of habitat conservation status at Country and biogeographical level, as requested by the Habitats Directive.</p> <p>Data were acquired by using a free Android application (VegApp, (https://vegapp.de/), and standardized field survey forms.</p> <p>The selection of the location of the sample sites were spatially balanced by using the sofware QGis vers. 3.22 (http://qgis.osgeo.org)</p> <p>plots_Table1 shows the characteristics of the sample sites, and information on type of management, when available.</p> <p>plots_Table2 provides the description and the measuring unit of all the attributes included in the dataset at plot level. It includes parameters used for assessing old-growth forests, linking them to the main type forests management, in order to both select indicators useful for assessing the conservation degree of forest habitat types, and identify good practices for nature conservation in these ecosystems.</p> <p>plots_Table3 contains information on living trees and deadwood at plot level.</p> <p>Trees describes the dataset related to single-tree data, and it contains the following fields for all living trees, exceeding 10 cm DBH, occurring in the plots. The nomenclature follows the Italian checklist available at https://dryades.units.it/floritaly/</p> <p>The shapefile "plots" contains the same information included in plots_Table1.</p>

Grasshopper genome reveals long-term conservation of the X chromosome and temporal variation in X chromosome evolution
<p>We present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the grasshopper, <em>Locusta migratoria</em>, one of the largest insect genomes. We use coverage differences between females (XX) and males (X0) to identify the X chromosome gene content, and find that the X chromosome shows both complete dosage compensation in somatic tissues and an underrepresentation of testes-expressed genes. Remarkably, X-linked gene content from <em>L. migratoria </em>is highly conserved across four insect orders, namely Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera and Diptera, and the 800 Mb grasshopper X chromosome is homologous to the fly ancestral X chromosome despite 400 million years of divergence, suggesting either repeated origin of sex chromosomes with highly similar gene content, or long-term conservation of the X chromosome. We use this broad conservation of the X chromosome to test for temporal dynamics to Fast-X evolution, and find evidence of a recent burst evolution for new X-linked genes in contrast to slow evolution of X-conserved genes. Additionally, our results reveal the X chromosome represents a hotspot for adaptive protein evolution related migration and the locust swarming phenotype. Overall, our results reveal a remarkable case of conservation and adaptation on the X chromosome.</p>
