Genomic insights into endangerment and conservation of the garlic-fruit tree (Malania oleifera), a plant species with extremely small populations.

The basic realizations concerning the threats to M. oleifera provide scientific foundation for defining management and adaptive units, as well as prioritizing populations for genetic rescue. Meanwhile, we highlight the importance of integrating genomic offset and ecological niche modeling to make targeted conservation actions under future climate change. Overall, our study provides a paradigm for genomics-directed conservation.
