Description
Imon Abedin leads an eight-author team mapping the genetics of an endangered Indian turtle, in a study published in two thousand twenty-five. The peacock softshell turtle has declined steeply under habitat loss and human pressure. Conservation planning needs solid evolutionary data.
The team sequenced the species' first complete mitochondrial genome from the upper Ganges. It shows the typical gene layout with a strong bias toward A and T bases. Family tree analysis confirms the genus Nilssonia as one lineage. The species sits closest to Nilssonia nigricans. Haplotype networks and genetic distances add population-level detail. Landscape genetics rounds out the picture. The authors translate the findings into strategic conservation recommendations for the turtle's remaining strongholds.
