Abstract in brief
- Current environmental changes and biodiversity loss are leading to significant ecological issues, such as the decline of large carnivores like cheetahs, which impacts herbivore populations and vegetation.
- The study presents a detailed genome-wide analysis revealing that cheetah phylogeography is more complex than previously understood, with distinct genetic differences among subspecies, particularly between East and Southern African cheetahs.
- Findings indicate high levels of inbreeding in endangered subspecies and low genetic diversity overall, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts and policy decisions to protect cheetahs from threats like habitat loss and illegal trafficking.

"Although differentiation between #cheetah subspecies has previously been suggested to be low (...), the genome-wide FST values of the present study show a high differentiation between the subspecies." Well done Stefan & team from @geobiodiversity! https://t.co/5XEIBGHMTx

My question for behavioral genetics is: is there enough genetic variation in humans to make meaningful studies? We have nucleotide diversity (π) of 0.001, which is less than cheetahs, 0.069. Our gene pool seems puddle small. https://t.co/adsvQqSXhG https://t.co/SDVZyBKVRn https://t.co/3mUnsd2YZt

Not sure I follow the logic of conserving species by keeping critically endangered subspecies separate. You can't solve inbreeding by keeping it in the family
