Historical and contemporary genomes of an endangered rodent reveal shifts in environmentally associated genes.

Abstract excerpt

Global climate change poses a substantial challenge for many species, particularly when habitat loss and fragmentation prevent a species from shifting its range to track suitable climate conditions. Instead, these species must adapt in situ to a different climate environment, making their capacity for adaptation critical to persistence. Yet endangered species often face the added challenge of low standing genetic...
