Iberian lynxes have less deleterious mutations than other lynx species due to the small size of their population
A team led by the Doñana Biological Station – CSIC has compared the deleterious mutation burden in Iberian and Eurasian lynxes. The study shows that populations that have been small their...
Genetic evaluation of the Iberian lynx ex situ conservation programme
Ex situ programmes have become critical for improving the conservation of many threatened species, as they establish backup populations and provide individuals for reintroduction and reinforcement...
Landscape change promotes the emergence of a rare predator-prey interaction
Diet studies provide basic natural history information to understand food web dynamics. However, measuring the dietary breadth of rare, elusive species is extremely challenging due to their...
Spatiotemporal dynamics of genetic variation in the Iberian lynx along its path to extinction reconstructed with ancient DNA
There is the tendency to assume that endangered species have been both genetically and demographically healthier in the past. The Iberian lynx suffered a dramatic and continuous decline during the...
Extreme genomic erosion in the highly endangered Iberian lynx
Genomic studies of endangered species provide insights into their evolution and demographic history, reveal patterns of genomic erosion that might limit their viability, and offer tools for their...
