Red fox, Vulpes vulpes, is a globally distributed species characterized by its high adaptability to diverse habitats and a broad range of food resources. This remarkable adaptability has allowed the red fox to thrive in various environments, from urban areas to remote wilderness. In this study, we used a set of microsatellite markers for the comparative genetic analysis of red fox populations from two countries.

Therefore, greatly interests conservation geneticists, but it is also very relevant to policymakers, managers, and conservation practitioners. Molecular methods to estimate rely on various assumptions, including no immigration, panmixia, random sampling, absence of spatial genetic structure, and/or mutation-drift equilibrium.

- The common tern, a migratory seabird, is facing a decline in populations across Europe due to threats like habitat destruction and human interference.
- A study analyzed the genetic structure and diversity of common terns from Northern, Southern Inland, and Southern Marine areas using genetic markers, revealing high diversity overall, but the Southern Marine group had the least.
- The findings suggested weak population genetic structure with high gene flow, indicating that geographical distance between breeding colonies had little impact on genetic differences; the study recommends further research on migration dynamics and conservation efforts for breeding sites.
Article Synopsis
- A genomic database encompassing all eukaryotic species on Earth is crucial for scientific advancements, yet most species lack genomic data.
- The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) was initiated in 2018 by global scientists to compile high-quality reference genomes for approximately 1.5 million recognized eukaryotic species.
- The European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) launched a Pilot Project to create a decentralized model for reference genome production by testing it on 98 species, providing valuable insights into scalability, equity, and inclusiveness for genomic projects.
