Dataset: Habitat suitability models to make conservation decisions based on areas of high species richness and endemism
<p>This repository contains the files associated with the following article:</p> <p>Hernández-Quiroz NS, EI Badano, F Barragán-Torres, J Flores & C Pinedo-Álvarez. Habitat suitability models to make conservation decisions based on areas of high species richness and endemism. Biodiversity and Conservation, 27, pp. 3185-3200. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-018-1596-9">https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-018-1596-9</a></p> <p>The Microsoft Excel file (SM 01-Oak occurrences.xlsx) contains the occurrence points used to calibrate the habitat suitability model of each oak species (59 species in total). This file indicates the name of the species (column A), latitude and longitude of each occurrence point (columns B and C; in geographic coordinates) and the full set of bioclimatic variables (columns D-V) and topographic variables (columns W-Z) associated to each point. These later data are provided as they were gathered from the bioclimatic layers of WorldClim and the topographic layers of the Mexican National Institute of Statistics and Geography. The repository also contains interactive maps indicating the predicted and observed distributions of the 59 Mexican oak species (SM 02-Estimated oak distribution ranges.kmz), and the probability-based and occurrence-based map of oak richness and endemic species (SM 03-Oak richness maps.kmz). These geographic projections are provided in KMZ format to make them easy to visualize in Google Earth (freely available at www.google.com/earth). Details about these KMZ files can be consulted by accessing the file properties after opening them in Google Earth.</p>
Extant and extinct bilby genomes combined with indigenous knowledge improve conservation of a unique Australian marsupial
<p>The Ninu (Greater bilby, <em>Macrotis lagotis</em>) is a desert-dwelling, culturally and ecologically important marsupial. In collaboration with Indigenous rangers and conservation managers, we generated the first Ninu chromosome-level genome assembly (3.66 Gbp) and genome sequences for the extinct Yallara (Lesser bilby, <em>Macrotis leucura</em>). We developed and tested a scat SNP panel, based on our genomic datasets, to inform current and future conservation actions, to undertake future ecological assessments, and improve our understanding of Ninu genetic diversity in managed and wild populations. We also assessed the beneficial impact of targeted conservation actions, like translocations, in the contemporary metapopulation (N=363 Ninu). Resequenced genomes (temperate Ninu=6; semi-arid Ninu=6; Yallara=4) revealed two major population crashes during global cooling events for both species and differences in Ninu genes involved in anatomical and metabolic pathway adaptations to aridity. Despite their 45-year long captive history, Ninu have fewer long runs of homozygosity than other larger mammals, which may be attributable to their boom-bust life-history. We also investigated the unique Ninu biology using 12 tissue transcriptomes revealing expression of all 115 conserved eutherian chorioallantoic placentation genes in the uterus; an XY<sub>1</sub>Y<sub>2</sub> sex chromosome system generated by fusion of the X with a large telocentric autosome; and expansions in olfactory receptor genes. Together, we demonstrate the holistic value of genomics in improving key conservation management actions, understanding unique biological traits, and developing tools for Indigenous rangers to monitor remote wild populations.</p>
Data for: Planning for a future of changes: prioritizing areas for conservation of small mammals in the Caatinga, Brazil
<p>Human land use and climate change are two of the main threats affecting biodiversity, especially in arid/semiarid regions. The most effective way to protect the species in these ecosystems against these threats is through the delimitation of Protected Areas (PAs). However, such PAs need to be targeted cost-efficiently and consider future climate change. We identify priority areas to preserve small mammal species in the Caatinga in the present and in the future of climate change. We also evaluate how well these priority areas are protected by current PAs and identify ways forward to improve their protection. We use ecological niche models and Zonation spatial prioritisation software to identify the top 30% priority areas to preserve small mammal species under current climate and land use scenarios, besides considering optimistic and pessimistic scenarios of future climate change. We also evaluate how much these priority areas are covered by current PAs, identify ways to further improve their protection using hierarchical mask analysis, and evaluate species mean distribution coverage. The consequences of climate change will not hugely impact the distribution of priority areas for species conservation in the Caatinga. Around 13% of the identified priority areas overlap with current PAs, and planning the expansion of PAs considering integral protection areas increases the coverage of priority areas to more than 18% and captures more than 72% of species-suitable areas. Our prioritisations take into account climate change and provide low risk if conducted as a "no-regrets" conservation action. These priority areas are poorly supported by the Brazilian PA system, and need of further protection. One cost-effective option could be to upgrade some Sustainable Use PAs into more restrictive ones. Securing these priority areas helps preserve the long-term ecosystem functioning and to prevent biodiversity loss in a changing world.</p>

Identifying priority survey sites for early-season milkweed conservation
<p>Monarch butterfly (<em>Danaus plexippus</em>) populations are experiencing decline due to habitat degradation and climate threats. In 2024, this iconic species became protected under the Endangered Species Act. Critical to the persistence of this species of cultural and ecological importance is milkweed (<em>Asclepias spp.</em>), which monarchs rely on as an essential resource for food and reproduction. Motivated by concerns over the loss of monarch habitat, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (SBBG) and local collaborators are working to identify potential restoration areas in the Los Padres National Forest (LPNF). However, the vast size and complex terrain of the LPNF pose a logistical challenge to surveying. Therefore, there is a need for a tool to aid in selecting sites to prioritize. Our team created a priority index for surveying milkweed within the LPNF by predicting the habitat suitability for four early-season milkweed species using Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) species distribution modeling and creating a novel survey site accessibility index. We identified high priority sites for the team to survey based on high predicted suitability for each species of early-season milkweed and high physical accessibility. To communicate these results, we created an interactive web dashboard, which the SBBG team will use for field planning to support the ongoing monitoring of milkweed populations for monarch habitat restoration efforts within the LPNF.</p>
