Conservation genetics utilizes the tools and concepts of genetics and applies them to
problems in conservation biology. For example, molecular genetic techniques, such as …

Molecular techniques can be used to address questions of conservation significance. At the
individual level, these questions concern how kinship affects reproduction, group structure …

In the last two centuries, the development of human civilization has transformed large
natural areas into anthropogenic landscapes, making habitat fragmentation a pervasive …

We summarize the problems that populations of formerly common plants may encounter
when habitat fragmentation isolates them and reduces population size. Genetic erosion …

Natural populations worldwide are increasingly fragmented by habitat loss. Isolation at small
population size is thought to reduce individual and population fitness via inbreeding …

Hybridization (the interbreeding of individuals from genetically distinct populations,
regardless of their taxonomic status) is the double-edged sword of conservation biology. On …

As one of the final activities of the ESF-CONGEN Networking programme, a conference
entitled 'Integrating Population Genetics and Conservation Biology'was held at Trondheim …

Human activities have led to global changes with direct consequences for biodiversity. For
this reason, special concerns have arisen, particularly in respect to global threats such as …

The∼ 26 definitions of species often yield different numbers of species and disparate
groupings, with financial, legal, biological and conservation implications. Using conservation …
