Conservation biology: Fossils inform the future

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Conservation decision-making increasingly requires data beyond those from depauperate modern ecosystems. A new study that integrates Pleistocene fossil records of lizards with modern genomic and geographic data provides a roadmap for integrating the past and present to identify specific conservation strategies.
