保护遗传多样性对于物种在全球变化面前的复原力至关重要。为了满足国际上保护至少90%物种遗传多样性的要求，研究人员和保护主义者需要一种方法来可靠地预测人类活动导致的遗传多样性损失。在本期的第1431页，Exposito-Alonso等人提出了一个数学框架，巧妙地将生物多样性和种群遗传学理论联系起来，以模拟遗传多样性和栖息地丧失之间的关系。这种方法建立在生物多样性政策专家已经使用的方法的基础上，用于预测基于栖息地丧失的物种灭绝，应该对那些负责制定保护遗传多样性目标的人有用。
Preservation of genetic diversity is critical to the resilience of species in the face of global change. To meet international calls to preserve at least 90% of species’ genetic diversity, researchers and conservationists need a way to reliably predict genetic diversity loss resulting from human activities . On page 1431 of this issue, Exposito-Alonsoet al.present a mathematical framework that elegantly bridges biodiversity and population genetics theory to model the relationship between genetic diversity and habitat loss . This approach builds on methods already used by biodiversity policy experts for predicting species extinctions based on habitat loss and should be useful to those tasked with setting goals for preserving genetic diversity.
