Call for Papers: Special issue on genomic assessment of adaptive potential in populations facing environmental challenges
Evolutionary Applications invites contributions on how genomic insights can inform strategies for managing populations under environmental stress. Submit your research by April 1, 2025, and join the conversation on adaptive potential and conservation!
Evolutionary Applications is inviting submissions for a special issue titled "Genomic Assessment of Adaptive Potential of Populations to Environmental Challenges: Applications to Management and Conservation." This issue will focus on the use of genomic insights to inform strategies for managing and conserving populations facing threats such as climate change, habitat fragmentation, pollution, and new pests or diseases.
Led by guest editors Santiago C. González-Martínez, David Chagné, Lesley Lancaster, Sam Yeaman, Juntao Hu, Yiyong Chen, and Maren Wellenreuther, the special issue will highlight cutting-edge research linking genomics to practical conservation efforts. Submissions can include empirical studies, case studies of genomic applications in conservation, and theoretical papers on adaptation mechanisms. Emerging genomic technologies and integrative approaches combining genomics with other ecological data are also welcome.
Key submission dates:
- Open Call for Manuscripts: 1st September 2024
- First Submission Deadline: 1st April 2025
- Acceptance Deadline: 1st November 2025
- Publication Date: December 2025
Papers will be made available online upon acceptance, and all articles will be published as open access. Potential contributors are encouraged to contact the guest editors for further information.
This special issue aims to provide essential knowledge to guide future conservation policies and enhance species resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
