First large‐scale quantification study of DNA preservation in insects from natural history collections using genome‐wide sequencing

Insect declines are a global issue with significant ecological and economic ramifications. Yet, we have a poor understanding of the genomic impact these losses can have. Genome-wide data from historical specimens have the potential to provide baselines of population genetic measures to study population change, with natural history collections representing...
