Connectivity, diversity, and demography of Lagenorhynchus dolphins of the North Atlantic
No full textThe earth’s polar regions are facing an exceptional degree of environmental change in the
Anthropocene, leading to an unprecedented rate of biodiversity loss. Cetaceans are important
predators in these fragile ecosystems and are impacted by an array of multiple stressors,
potentially impairing their fitness and long-term survival. Understanding to which extent
cetacean populations are impacted requires comprehensive knowledge on their population
dynamics. However, accessing elusive pelagic species, such as oceanic dolphins, proves to be
a cost-intensive and high-risk endeavor. Consequently, large knowledge gaps remain in many
species regarding their genetic connectivity, proportion of genetic variation, and demographic
history. All of these aspects, however, are crucial for assessing the conservation status of
present-day populations and help to make informed predictions on how future change may
impact their survival. Due to dedicated monitoring of coastlines adjacent to the core habitat
of understudied marine species over decades, opportunistic sampling of stranded cetaceans
can provide a cost-effective opportunity to address these questions. Through international
collaboration, samples collected by stranding networks in combination with other sampling
approaches allow to obtain the samples needed to evaluate population dynamics of elusive
species using state-of-the-art genomic approaches in an ecosystem-wide manner.
The two extant species of the Lagenorhynchus genus of the North Atlantic Ocean, the Atlantic
white-sided and the white-beaked dolphin, suffer from data deficiency due to their pelagic nature.
A recent surge in interest from various stakeholders was driven by the prospective impact that
climate change may have on these cold-water obligate species. Driven by recommendations to
increase our understanding of Lagenorhynchus population dynamics and risk of impact from
environmental stressors, this project aimed to gather tissue samples from stranding networks
and other sources and implement high-throughput Next Generation Sequencing to address
these components from a genetic perspective. As a result, this thesis provides novel insights
into Lagenorhynchus biology and conservation, which are communicated through engagement
with policymakers and the publication of scientific results.
In the introduction of this thesis, I will lay out the early and recent advances in genetics and
genomics to study natural populations globally and across species through time. With a focus
on how genetic techniques have benefited cetacean conservation, I will then highlight the
ongoing initiatives undertaken to understand and protect cetacean populations worldwide
and in the North Atlantic specifically. The two target species and the importance of stranding
archives and other sampling approaches for cetacean conservation are described to provide
a context for the methodological approach of this thesis. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on each
species separately, describing their genetic connectivity, diversity, relatedness, and gene flow
informed by reduced representation sequencing. The results illustrate the stark contrast in
population structure the two species display on a range-wide scale, reflecting their ecological
differences and emphasising recommendations for conservation. Chapter 4 takes a comparative approach using whole-genome sequences to investigate patterns of genome-wide diversity
and inbreeding, and to reconstruct the demographic histories of the species. The results put
the previously assessed population structure in a wider evolutionary context, and allow for
some predictions of future responses to global climate change aided by a species distribution
modelling approach. In the final chapter of the thesis, all results are put into a context of
conservation genomics on a broader scale and in cetacean populations specifically. The impact
these results have on the conservation of North Atlantic Lagenorhynchus dolphins is being
presented and putative impact is discussed. Finally, I will highlight pressing needs for future
research to further understand Lagenorhynchus populations and assess their conservation
status in light of increasing pressure through various anthropogenic stressors
Rob and Bert in Tokyo
No full textThis essay is steeped in contradiction: it is as much an attempt at mourning, coping, and letting go as it is an exercise in remembrance, rediscovery, and reconnection. One of the many areas of international legal scholarship where Rob Cryer left his mark is his oeuvre on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE). To pay tribute to, and get re-acquainted with, Rob-the-person, I re-read his 2010 article on the ‘dignified dissenter’ in Tokyo, Dutch Judge Bert Röling. In that article, Rob uses the memoranda and the opinion of Bert-the-judge to assess his conceptual and legal contributions to the IMTFE judgment. They also serve him as a vehicle to get a better grasp of the author behind the text and the values and dilemmas that shaped Röling’s positions on the IMTFE bench. What more can we learn and understand about Rob Cryer while ‘reading Rob reading Bert’? What aspects of Röling’s legacy did he choose to foreground, and what qualities did he appreciate most? How did Rob treat his character when shedding light on the more contentious elements of Röling’s work? Even if this essay fails in its therapeutic purpose, it might still add a few mosaic pieces to the collective construction of Rob’s portrait in this volume

Benefits and pitfalls of captive conservation genetic management: Evaluating diversity in scimitar-horned oryx to support reintroduction planning
No full textThe reintroduction of the scimitar-horned oryx to Chad is a multi-disciplinary endeavour, planned and implemented over the past decade, utilizing a wide range of conservation science applications to maximise the chances of long-term population sustainability. The principle of incorporating genetic diversity information into founder selection for species reintroductions is widely recognized; however, in practice, a full assessment of available ex-situ genetic variation is rarely attempted prior to identifying individuals for release.In this study we present the results of over ten years of research analyzing and interpreting the genetic diversity present in the key source populations for the Chad scimitar-horned oryx reintroduction. Three empirical genetic datasets (mitochondrial DNA sequence, nuclear DNA microsatellite and SNP markers) comprising over 500 individuals sampled from public and private institutions were analysed, accompanied by simulation studies to address applied questions relating to management of the reintroduction.The results strongly demonstrate the importance of conservation genetic analysis in ensuring that founders represent the greatest breadth of evolutionary diversity available. The inclusion of both intensively and lightly managed collections allowed us to bridge the gap between studbook and group managed populations, enabling the inclusion of individuals from populations that lack historic data on their origins, but which may hold unique diversity of significant conservation value. Importantly, however, our study also reveals the potential risks of applying standard population genetic approaches to multiple captive populations, for which small founder sizes are likely to strongly bias results, with potentially serious consequences for the genetic management of conservation breeding programmes
