A genetic perspective on leopard (Panthera pardus) conservation units across southern Africa
Conservation units are a tool to guide policy such that conservation goals can be achieved. These units should ideally synthesise a wide array of data – genetic, ecological, demographic – to identify the appropriate scales at which conservation actions can then be directed. Despite being the most …

Behavioural Ecology in Conservation Planning: Individual and Sex-Specific Insights from Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Western Canada
Conservation planning often relies on delineating intraspecific units to capture ecological and evolutionary diversity. To do this, traditional frameworks often emphasize genetic or taxonomic criteria as a first line of evidence for evolutionary significance. While useful, this approach assumes …
