The rate of global climate change is projected to outpace the ability of many natural
populations and species to adapt. Assisted migration (AM), which is defined as the managed …

Abstract The Mojave Desert contains the hottest, driest regions in North America and is also
one of the most ecologically intact regions in the contiguous United States. However, a …

Conservation biologists have increasingly used translocations to mitigate population
declines and restore locally extirpated populations. Genetic data can guide the selection of …

Wildlife restoration often involves translocation efforts to reintroduce species and
supplement small, fragmented populations. We examined the genomic consequences of …

Determining the demographic impacts of wildlife disease is complex because extrinsic and
intrinsic drivers of survival, reproduction, body condition, and other factors that may interact …

Assessments of organisms' vulnerability to potential climatic shifts are increasingly common.
Such assessments are often conducted at the species level and focused primarily on the …

Limited sampling for imperiled taxa inhibits effective management by obscuring windows
into ecological and evolutionary processes and ultimately thwarting thoughtful conservation …

Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) populations in the western United States have undergone
widespread declines and extirpations since the late nineteenth century as a consequence of …

Aligning wildlife management boundaries with accurate biological units promotes effective
conservation and management practices that reflect ecological and evolutionary processes …

Genetic variation is the basis upon which natural selection acts to yield evolutionary change.
In a rapidly changing environment, increasing genetic variation should increase …
