AbstractMost populations of spider monkeys (Ateles) and muriquis (Brachyteles), two Neotropical primate genera, are under severe anthropogenic threats. Yet, taxon-wide population-level studies leveraging their degree of endangerment linked to their genetic diversity patterns and demographic history are lacking. To properly address this, there is a need to expand from morphological and genetic marker-based studies.

AbstractReference genomes are key resources in biodiversity conservation. Yet, sequencing efforts are not evenly distributed in the tree of life questioning our true ability to enlighten conservation with genomic data. Good quality reference genomes remain scarce in octocorals while these species are highly relevant target for conservation.
