Population ecology has matured to a sophisticated science with astonishing potential for
contributing solutions to wildlife conservation and management challenges. And yet, much …

Loss of biodiversity is among the greatest problems facing the world today. Conservation
and the Genetics of Populations gives a comprehensive overview of the essential …

Genetic diversity is one of the three main levels of biodiversity recognised in the Convention
on Biological Diversity (CBD). Fundamental for species adaptation to environmental change …

Theory predicts widespread loss of genetic diversity from drift and inbreeding in trees
subjected to habitat fragmentation, yet empirical support of this theory is scarce. We argue …

BREEDING ENDANGERED SPECIES IN CAPTIVITY 1 47 breeding populations has been
recognised as necessary to avoid the undesirable effects of inbreeding and drift (Falconer …

Over the past decade, several studies and reviews have documented the apparent
resilience of widespread tree species to the population genetic consequences of habitat …

The unprecedented rate of extinction calls for efficient use of genetics to help conserve
biodiversity. Several recent genomic and simulation-based studies have argued that the …

We will soon have complete genome sequences from thousands of species, as well as from
many individuals within species. This coming explosion of information will transform our …

Understanding why some species have more genetic diversity than others is central to the
study of ecology and evolution, and carries potentially important implications for …

Biodiversity is declining, with major causes identified as habitat loss and a reduction of
habitat quality. Recent studies have shown that particularly species with specific habitat …
