NZ has spent years preparing for H5N1 bird flu. For some species, it may not be enough
With H5N1 now in New Zealand, protecting the most threatened birds will involve difficult decisions, careful prioritisation – and sometimes chance.

#PlantConservation #ConservationGenetics #PlantScience #Botany
The conservation of Salzmann's pine (Pinus nigra subsp. salzmannii) shows that protecting species is not enough; we must also conserve their genetic diversity. Safeguarding genetic variation will help plant populations adapt and persist in a changing world.

Genetic-based conservation status indicators applied to endemics with restricted distributions: a case for eastern Amazonian cangas plants by Bárbara Santos Leal and co-authors.

#freeaccess article
👉 doi.org/pgb9

#PlantConservation #ConservationGenetics #PlantScience
Protecting endemic Amazonian plants such as Carajasia cangae, Parapiqueria cavalcantei, and Ipomoea cavalcantei requires conservation strategies tailored to their biology. This study shows that genetic indicators should account for species' reproductive systems to better safeguard their long-term evolutionary potential.
