In ecology and evolution, genetic and genomic data are commonly collected for a vast array of scientific and applied purposes. Despite mandates for public archiving, such data are typically used only once by the data-generating authors. The repurposing of genetic and genomic datasets remains uncommon because it is often difficult, if not impossible, due to non-standard archiving practices and lack of contextual metadata. But as the new research field of macrogenetics is demonstrating, if genetic data and their metadata were more accessible, they could be reused for many additional purposes, far beyond their initial intended impact. In this review, we outline the main challenges with existing genetic and genomic data archives, factors underlying the challenges, and current best practices for archiving genetic and genomic data. Recognising that this is a longstanding issue due to an absence of formal data management training within the research field of ecology and evolution, we highlight key steps that universities, funding bodies, and scientific publishers could take to ensure timely change towards good data archiving.

According to the IUCN Red List, the endangered eastern North American tree species, butternut (Juglans cinerea L.), has been negatively impacted by an introduced pathogen and declining habitat, hindering conservation efforts. We developed an ensemble model to project spatiotemporal dynamics in suitable habitats for butternut across its native eastern United States (US) range under contrasting emissions scenarios. Our model integrated six algorithms weighted by predictive performance on test data. Predictor variables emphasized temperature, precipitation, topography, and humidity variables influential for butternut based on ecological literature. Across four future periods through the end of the 21st century, the ensemble model projected habitat gains, losses, or stability depending on geographic location and climate model, highlighting variability and uncertainty. While some ensemble projections showed poleward and elevational range shifts per previous climate impact studies, incorporating dispersal limitations in future models could avoid under- or over-estimating shifts. Precipitation seasonality and slope aspect emerged as highly influential variables for projected distribution. Slope gradients may provide local climate refugia amid regional drying. Overall, these results demonstrate complex species-climate interactions across spatiotemporal scales, underscoring the need for adaptive and location-specific conservation strategies attuned to ecological intricacies to ensure biodiversity amid the uncertainties of global change.

Restoring endangered plant species to their historical sites is not always possible due to constantly changing habitat conditions. The aim of this study was to test the effects of reintroduction of two relict willow species in eastern Poland. The experiment consisted of planting 48 individuals of Salix lapponum and S. myrtilloides, obtained by micropropagation, at each of the two selected sites and observing their survival after one year. At the same time, selected physicochemical and biocenotic factors of the environment were monitored. About 70% of S. lapponum individuals and 50% of S. myrtilloides plants survived the one-year period. This result can be considered satisfactory and confirms the effectiveness of this means of active protection. The results of measurements of selected abiotic factors of the environment and the observations and ecological analysis of the flora indicated that the habitat conditions of both historical sites have changed, resulting in accelerated succession of vegetation. However, complete habitat degradation did not occur, although the development of a multi-story structure of one of the phytocenoses intensified competition for light and other environmental resources, which narrowed the potential ecological niche of the reintroduced species.
