High Genetic Diversity Found in Overfished Shortfin Mako Sharks
A study using full-genome sequencing found that shortfin mako sharks, while facing severe overfishing, still possess high genetic diversity, particularly in the Atlantic Ocean, where their populations are managed as two separate stocks, a finding that underscores the need for effective conservation.

Widespread Genetic Diversity Decline Threatens Species Survival
A Nature study analyzed 628 species (1985-2019), finding that two-thirds experienced genetic diversity decline, impacting resilience and increasing extinction risk, even in widespread species. Conservation strategies must focus on maintaining genetic diversity beyond population size.

Endangered Livestock Breeds in Thuringia Receive State Funding
Twenty-one rare or endangered livestock breeds in Thuringia, Germany, are on the red list, with breeders receiving state financial aid (between €270,000 and €320,000 annually) through the Thuringian Animal Welfare Directive to preserve them, although precise population numbers are unavailable.

Dutch Sperm Donor Scandal: At Least 85 Donors Fathered 25+ Children Each
A new registration system in the Netherlands revealed that at least 85 sperm donors fathered 25 or more children each, violating regulations; fertility clinics used sperm samples excessively and without proper documentation, causing a loss of trust in the medical system and raising concerns about th...

Global Study Reveals Widespread Genetic Diversity Loss in Species
A study analyzing 628 species from 1985–2019 found that two-thirds experienced genetic diversity loss, primarily due to habitat reduction; population supplementation proved the most effective conservation measure, though risks remain.

Global Genetic Diversity Decline in Two-Thirds of Species
A global study of 628 species across 141 countries found a two-thirds decline in genetic diversity between 1985 and 2019, primarily due to habitat loss, climate change, invasive species, and human activity; however, successful conservation projects show that this loss can be reversed.
