Conservation genetic management approaches, such as augmenting gene flow, have the
potential to improve the adaptive potential of populations, which is a primary goal in species …

Conservation biologists have drawn up a range of guidelines for the conservation of genetic
diversity—to maximise the chances that populations of threatened species persist, and to …

Globally, species and ecosystems continue to decline, and the impact on threatened species
is increasing. The ongoing loss of intraspecific genetic diversity is contributing to the erosion …

Mate limitation is a restoration issue in selfincompatible plant species and can easily go
undetected in clonal species when seed set is not directly measured. Populations …

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 …

Plant translocation is a useful tool for implementing assisted gene flow in recovery plans of
critically endangered plant species. Although it helps to restore genetically viable …

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

Genetic diversity is important for species persistence and Gene Conservation Units (GCUs)
have been implemented for forest trees to protect genetic diversity and evolutionary …

Many of Australia's most endangered plants and animals survive only in tiny fragmented
populations, at risk of extinction from genetic drift or inbreeding. Ian Mansergh, Dean …

Conservation practitioners widely agree that optimal conservation strategies will maximize
the amount of genetic variation preserved in target taxa, but there is ongoing debate about …
