Massive genetic diversity loss within Asian elephant subspecies: new insights for determining conservation priorities

2026-01-22

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we provide a comprehensive genomic analysis of population structure, genetic diversity and genetic load across the four recognized Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) subspecies using whole-genome sequencing data of 81 wild-born individuals. Our results reveal striking contrast in inbreeding: the Bornean subspecies (E.m. borneensis) exhibits the highest level of inbreeding, with ~ 65% of its genome in...
