Hard to believe it’s actually here, 2.75 years after we (@AllendorfFred, @SallyNAitken, @Margare77278174, @gordon_luikart, and I) started writing it. Many thanks to our impressive group of guest authors, and to the conservation genetics community.

EXCITING BONUS: This paper presents the first published reference genome for the remarkable tailed frog (Ascaphus truei) from the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Along with its closest living relatives, New Zealand's Leiopelma, it is the most basal lineage of all living frogs!
