Conservation of genetic diversity, one of the three main forms of biodiversity, is a
fundamental concern in conservation biology as it provides the raw material for evolutionary …

The theoretical impacts of anthropogenic habitat degradation on genetic resources have
been well articulated. Here we use a simulation approach to assess the magnitude of …

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 …

Translocations are being increasingly proposed as a way of conserving biodiversity,
particularly in the management of threatened and keystone species, with the aims of …

Deforestation and fragmentation are major components of global change; both are
contributing to the rapid loss of tropical forest area with important implications for ecosystem …

Habitat loss and degradation that comes as a result of human activity is the single biggest
threat to biodiversity in the world today. Habitat Fragmentation and Landscape Change is a …

Restoring degraded land to combat environmental degradation requires the collection of
vast quantities of germplasm (seed). Sourcing this material raises questions related to …

Small plant populations are more prone to extinction due to the loss of genetic variation
through random genetic drift, increased selfing, and mating among related individuals. To …

The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the number of studies dealing with the genetic
consequences of habitat fragmentation, in large part because of the increasing accessibility …

Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently
facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures …
