Conservation Breeding Programs (CBPs) remain essential tools to preserve animal biodiversity and save threatened species from extinction. Despite the advances made during the last decades, CBPs have been carried out only on a small number of species, mostly mammals and birds. There is, therefore, an urgent need to develop and complement in-situ and ex-situ strategies to also preserve other vertebrates like fish, amphibians, and reptiles, in which the biodiversity loss because of climate change or other anthropogenic activities is even more dramatic. One of the main factors that limits CBPs' success is the lack of knowledge of the animal reproductive biology and behavior, which is precisely known, for instance, in less than 4% of mammals, the majority of which are terrestrial species. Such knowledge is beneficial not only to enhance but also to control animal fertility that is especially warranted for the management of overabundant or invasive species, which represent a further major threat for biodiversity The goal of this Research Topic is to bring together studies that deal with different aspects of animal reproduction both in captive and wild populations. This includes both ex-situ and in-situ approaches such as the management of animal reproduction in captive populations and their reintroduction/release into the wild. Other approaches such as assisted reproductive technologies and biobanking greatly contribute to the success of conservation breeding. This Research Topic also welcomes studies exploring the effects of biotic (e.g., inbreeding, diseases, stress) and abiotic (e.g., anthropogenic activities, housing, and veterinary care) factors on reproductive biology of all vertebrates' classes, with a special interest to fish, amphibians, and reptiles. As a comprehensive knowledge of animal reproduction and behavior plays a key role for the development and success of breeding programs, descriptive studies on reproductive anatomy and physiology of wild or captive species, either endangered or overabundant, are welcomed. The Research Topic also accepts manuscripts that deal with ethical aspects of animal welfare in CBPs and population management of invasive or overabundant species.

""Seed Saving Secrets"" offers a timely and comprehensive exploration of preserving genetic diversity through traditional seed-saving practices, addressing both the how-to aspects and broader implications of maintaining garden self-sufficiency. Against the backdrop of declining agricultural biodiversity, where 75% of crop varieties have vanished in the past century, this guide connects ancient wisdom with modern scientific understanding to empower readers in their seed-saving journey. The book masterfully breaks down complex topics into three main components: plant reproduction and genetics, collection and storage techniques, and creating sustainable seed-saving programs. Readers progress from basic concepts to advanced techniques, learning crucial skills such as selecting parent plants, determining proper harvest timing, and understanding storage requirements for over 30 common crop varieties. Through detailed illustrations, photographs, and real-world case studies, the content remains accessible while maintaining scientific accuracy. What sets this resource apart is its comprehensive approach to both practical instruction and broader context. While providing specific techniques for saving seeds from common vegetables and herbs, it also addresses crucial topics like food security, climate resilience, and seed sovereignty. The book serves multiple audiences, from novice gardeners to experienced growers, offering detailed calendars, troubleshooting guides, and record-keeping systems that help readers establish and maintain their own seed-saving practice.

Fitness and adaptation are fundamental characteristics of plant and animal species, enabling them to survive in their environment and to adapt to the inevitable changes in this environment. This is true for both the genetic resources of natural ecosystems as well as those used in agricultural production. Extensive genetic variation exists between varieties/breeds in a species and amongst individuals within breeds. This variation has developed over very long periods of time. A major ongoing challenge is how to best utilize this variation to meet short-term demands whilst also conserving it for longer-term possible use. Many animal breeding programs have led to increased performance for production traits but this has often been accompanied by reduced fitness. In addition, the global use of genetic resources prompts the question whether introduced genotypes are adapted to local production systems. Understanding the genetic nature of fitness and adaptation will enable us to better manage genetic resources allowing us to make efficient and sustainable decisions for the improvement or breeding of these resources. This book had an ambitious goal in bringing together a sample of the world’s leading scientists in animal breeding and evolutionary genetics to exchange knowledge to advance our understanding of these vital issues.
