How important is mitochondrial DNA in conservation? Jack Brand, @dk-dowling.bsky.social and co-authors argue that ignoring mtDNA risks unintended maladaptation and that mitochondrial and nuclear genetics should be considered jointly in conservation planning. www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
Human-mediated gene flow is increasingly altering the genetic composition of populations,
yet conservation assessments typically focus on nuclear introgression alone. We synthesise
evidence showing th...
New paper out today in TREE, led by the amazing @jack-brand.bsky.social!
We show why mitochondrial DNA introgression matters for conservation, inc. how nonnative mtDNA can shape adaptation, performance, and viability in wildlife populations
