Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The conservation, protection, and management of threatened species have become key issues for the future of biodiversity in pessimistic scenarios. Wild species are facing many threats, such as deforestation, the excessive exploitation of resources, pollution, the introduction of invasive species, climate change, etc. A solid understanding of the genetics and ecology of species and their populations is essential to developing conservation strategies and preventing local extinctions.
This Special Issue aims to present new research on endangered species. We encourage the submission of works focused on genetic diversity and the structure of populations, as well as ecology. These approaches will allow us to better understand the interaction of species with their environment and the impact of these interactions on their survival. In addition, articles on applied approaches to the conservation and management of species in natural environments are welcome. This Special Issue is open to the submission of review articles and research papers on animal and plant species from around the world, and we strongly encourage works on tropical and subtropical areas.
