Genetics and extinction
TLDR
There is now sufficient evidence to regard the controversies regarding the contribution of genetic factors to extinction risk as resolved, and if genetic factors are ignored, extinction risk will be underestimated and inappropriate recovery strategies may be used.About:

Patterns of widespread decline in North American bumble bees
Sydney A. Cameron,Jeffrey D. Lozier,James P. Strange,Jonathan B. Koch,Nils Cordes,Nils Cordes,Leellen F. Solter,Terry L. Griswold +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the relative abundances of four species have declined by up to 96% and that their surveyed geographic ranges have contracted by 23–87%, some within the last 20 y, although cause and effect remain uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of life
TL;DR: It is clear that the above can lead to confusion when scientists of different countries are trying to communicate with each other, so an internationally recognized system of naming organisms is created.

The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilisation in the Vegetable Kingdom: CONVOLVULACEÆ
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of cross-fertilisation and self fertilization on the production of seeds are discussed. But the main difference between cross-and self-flowered plants is the height and weights of the crossed and self-flowering plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linkage disequilibrium estimates of contemporary Ne using highly variable genetic markers: a largely untapped resource for applied conservation and evolution
Robin S. Waples,Chi Do +1 more
TL;DR: Low‐frequency alleles upwardly bias is found, but a simple rule can reduce bias to reduce bias in the single‐sample method based on linkage disequilibrium (LD).
