Data from the Species360 Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) has enabled researchers to develop a framework suggesting which species need to be prioritized for genetic sampling to aid conservation efforts for threatened species.
"The phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity, the numerical scale, the multi-decadal and (often) multi-generational record-keeping, and the biological, behavioral, epidemiological and biomedical details contained (in ZIMS) are bursting with demographic possibilities."
