Human harvest of animals in the wild occurs in terrestrial and aquatic habitats throughout
the world and is often intense. Harvest has the potential to cause three types of genetic …

By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our …

Recent advances in population genomics have made it possible to detect previously
unidentified structure, obtain more accurate estimates of demographic parameters, and …

Estimating the accuracy of genetic stock identification (GSI) that can be expected given a
previously collected baseline requires simulation. The conventional method involves …

Genetic population assignment used to inform wildlife management and conservation efforts
requires panels of highly informative genetic markers and sensitive assignment tests. We …

Genomics and bioinformatics have great potential to help address numerous topics in
ecology and evolution. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) can bridge genomics and …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have gained wide use in humans and model
species and are becoming the marker of choice for applications in other species …

Fisheries managers are likely to assess fish populations at some point during the fisheries
management process. Managers that follow the fisheries management process (see …

Recent advances in technology and quantitative methods have led to the emergence of a
new field of study that stands to link insights of researchers from two closely related, but …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a class of genetic markers that are well suited
to a broad range of research and management applications. Although advances in …
