Many small, isolated populations lose genetic variation and suffer inbreeding, increasing
their extinction risk. Augmenting gene flow may alleviate these issues if populations are …

The habitats of most species have been fragmented by human actions, isolating small
populations that consequently develop genetic problems. Millions of small, isolated …

One of the greatest unmet challenges in conservation biology is the genetic management of
fragmented populations of threatened animal and plant species. More than a million small …

Background Threatened species often have small and isolated populations where mating
among relatives can result in inbreeding depression increasing extinction risk. Effective …

Animal and plant species around the world are being challenged by the deleterious effects
of inbreeding, loss of genetic diversity, and maladaptation due to widespread habitat …

Many species have fragmented distribution with small isolated populations suffering
inbreeding depression and/or reduced ability to evolve. Without gene flow from another …

After decades of discussion, there is little consensus on the extent to which hybrids between
endangered and nonendangered species should be protected by US law. As increasingly …

Thousands of small populations are at increased risk of extinction because genetics and
evolutionary biology are not well‐integrated into conservation planning–a major lost …

The field of conservation genetics, when properly implemented, is a constant juggling act
integrating molecular genetics, ecology, and demography with applied aspects concerning …

Despite its recognised importance for species' persistence, integrating genetics into
conservation management has proved problematic, creating a “conservation genetics gap” …
