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 …

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

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 …

Habitat fragmentation is one of the most ubiquitous and serious environmental threats
confronting the long-term survival of plant and animal species worldwide. As species …

The best opportunity for endangered species recovery exists when there are still populations
throughout the original range, even if the populations are small and widely separated. As …

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

Habitat loss and fragmentation are among the biggest threats to biodiversity. Anthropogenic
habitat fragmentation leads to small and isolated remnant plant and animal populations. The …

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

About 50 y ago, Crow and Kimura [An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory (1970)]
and Ohta and Kimura [Genet. Res. 22, 201–204 (1973)] laid the foundations of conservation …

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