Article Synopsis
- Information on genetics and demographics in animal populations is vital for effective conservation efforts, particularly for critically endangered species like the golden lancehead snake in Brazil.
- The study assesses genetic diversity and structure in both captive and wild populations using microsatellites, revealing low to medium genetic diversity and slight differentiation between the populations.
- The findings emphasize the need for ongoing monitoring and the introduction of new individuals to the captive population to prevent inbreeding and enhance genetic health.
