Abstract Population‐scale genome resequencing of endangered animals may contribute to gaining an understanding how genomes vary as population sizes become smaller, well the functional implications such variation. In this study, we analysed structural variations and gene presence absence in crocodile lizards. We found that frequencies some genes showed significant differences between lizards different regions, indicating influence environmental selection, potential contributions from demography isolation, shaping variations. The haplotype diversity major histocompatibility complex (MHC) was also differ among inhabiting regions. These findings indicate well‐designed interbreeding regions facilitate exchange lizard populations increase MHC genes, which be beneficial for survival these Our based on variation, provide new insights into genomic variation conservation animals.

Climate change and human activities severely impact the viability of plants ecosystems, threatening environment, biodiversity, sustainable development plant-based products. Biotic abiotic (ecosystem) determinants affect species distribution long-term survival, which in turn influence quality used as herbal medicines other high-value In recent decades, diverse anthropogenic impacts have significantly affected these aspects. change, excessive plant exploitation, habitat loss, vulnerability, factors adversely growth, reproduction, adaptation populations, well volume primary materials supplied to pharmaceutical markets. Despite growing challenges, there is limited knowledge potential strategies prevent or mitigate impacts, particularly for vulnerable collected from wild harvested traditional production systems. Hence, effective preserving increasing populations are urgently needed. this study, we propose a new framework including main sustainability better understand address vulnerability species, hence climate change. We assess applicability our proposed via seven case studies (i.e., Aquilaria malaccensis Lam., Boswellia sacra Flück., Crocus sativus L., Panax quinquefolius Pilocarpus microphyllus Stapf ex Wardlew., Rhodiola rosea Warburgia salutaris (G.Bertol.) Chiov.) biogeographic realms, all widely medicinal plants. These present various challenges related their use, impacting current future status locally globally. Their economic importance, combined with rising demands specific risks overexploitation, also key considered here. The suggested products phytopharmaceutical industry emphasises that promote conservation resource use. It can be adapted requiring urgent attention.

Pilocarpus microphyllus Stapf. ex Wardlew. (Rutaceae) is an endemic and threatened medicinal plant species from tropical Brazil. Popularly known as "jaborandi", it the unique natural source of pilocarpine, alkaloid used to medical treat glaucoma xerostomia. Based on Species Distribution Models (SDMs), we modeled suitability P. microphyllus's geographical distribution considering three Global Circulation (GCMs) under two future climate change scenarios (SSP2-4.5 SSP5-8.5). The quantitative analyses carried out using ten different SDM algorithms revealed that precipitation seasonality (Bio15) driest month (Bio14) were most important bioclimatic variables. results evidenced four main key areas continuous occurrence spreading diagonally over Brazilian biomes (Amazon, Cerrado Caatinga). near-future (2020 2040) ensemble projections all GCMs have indicated negative impacts for potential loss or significant reduction in suitable habitats transition region between Amazon into central northern Maranhão state, mainly Caatinga biome Piaui state. On other hand, positive expansion habitat are projected forest cover protected southeastern Pará Since jaborandi socioeconomic importance many families north/northeast Brazil, urgent implement public policies conservation sustainable management, thus mitigating global change.
