The application gap: Genomics for biodiversity and ecosystem service management
Heuertz, Myriam; Carvalho, Silvia B.; Galindo, Juan; Rinkevich, Baruch; Robakowski, Piotr; Aavik, Tsipe; Altinok, Ilhan; Barth, Julia M.I.; Cotrim, Helena; Goessen, Roos; González-Martínez, Santiago C.; Grebenc, Tine; Hoban, Sean; Kopatz, Alexander; McMahon, Barry J.; Porth, Ilga M.; Raeymaekers, Joost A. M.; Trãger, Sabrina; Valdecantos, Alejandro; Vella, Adriana; Vernesi, Cristiano; Garnier-Géré, Pauline (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The conservation of biodiversity from the genetic to the community levels is fundamental for the continual provision of ecosystem services (ES), the benefits that ecosystems provide to people. Genetic and genomic diversity ... -
Dispersal patterns of a recovering brown bear (Ursus arctos) population in a human-dominated landscape
Karamanlidis, Alexandros A.; Kopatz, Alexander; De Gabriel Hernando, Miguel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Despite increasing habitat fragmentation, large carnivore populations in parts of Europe have been recovering and expanding into human-dominated areas. Knowledge of animal dispersal patterns in such areas is important for ... -
Expanding the spatial scale in DNA-based monitoring schemes: ascertainment bias in transnational assessments
Kopatz, Alexander; Norman, Anita J.; Spong, Göran; Valtonen, Mia; Kojola, Ilpo; Aspi, Jouni; Kindberg, Jonas; Flagstad, Øystein; Kleven, Oddmund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Harmonising methodology between countries is crucial in transborder population monitoring. However, immediate application of alleged, established DNA-based methods across the extended area can entail drawbacks and may lead ... -
Genetic and demographic history define a conservation strategy for earth’s most endangered pinniped, the Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus
Karamanlidis, Alexandros A.; Skrbinsek, Tomaz; Amato, George; Dendrinos, Panagiotis; Gaughran, Stephen; Kasapidis, Panagiotis; Kopatz, Alexander; Stronen, Astrid Vik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) is a flagship species for marine conservation, but important aspects of its life history remain unknown. Concerns over imminent extinction motivated a nuclear DNA study of ... -
Genome-wide diversity loss in reintroduced Eurasian lynx populations urges immediate conservation management
Mueller, Sarah Ashley; Prost, Stefan; Anders, Ole; Breitenmoser-Würsten, Christine; Kleven, Oddmund; Klinga, Peter; Konec, Marjeta; Kopatz, Alexander; Krojerova-Prokesova, Jarmila; Middelhoff, Tomma Lilli; Obexer-Ruff, Gabriela; Reiners, Tobias Erik; Schmidt, Krzysztof; Sindicic, Magda; Skrbinsek, Tomaz; Tám, Branislav; Saveljev, Alexander P.; Naranbaatar, Galsandorj; Nowak, Carsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Reintroductions may produce populations that suffer from decreasing genetic diversity due to isolation, genetic drift and inbreeding if not assisted by careful management. To assess the genetic outcomes of reintroductions ... -
Potential for increased connectivity between differentiated wolverine populations
Lansink, G.M.; Kleven, Oddmund; Ekblom, R.; Spong, G.; Kopatz, Alexander; Mattisson, Jenny; Persson, J.; Kojola, I.; Holmala, K.; Ollila, T.; Ellegren, H.; Kindberg, Jonas; Flagstad, Øystein; Aspi, J.; Kvist, L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Information on genetic population structure provides important knowledge for species conservation. Yet, few studies combine extensive genetic data to evaluate the structure and population dynamics of transboundary populations. ... -
Restoration of transborder connectivity for Fennoscandian brown bears (Ursus arctos)
Kopatz, Alexander; Kleven, Oddmund; Kojola, Ilpo; Aspi, Jouni; Norman, Anita J.; Spong, Göran; Gyllenstrand, Niclas; Dalén, Love; Fløystad, Ida; Hagen, Snorre; Kindberg, Jonas; Flagstad, Øystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Knowledge about the connectivity among natural populations is essential to identify management units for effective conservation actions. Conservation-minded management has led to the recovery of large carnivore populations ...
