Background Use of genomic tools to characterize wildlife populations has increased in
recent years. In the past, genetic characterization has been accomplished with more …

The development of genetic markers has revolutionized molecular studies within and among
populations. Although poly‐allelic microsatellites are the most commonly used genetic …

Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) is emerging as an efficient and cost‐effective tool in
population genomic analyses of nonmodel organisms, allowing simultaneous resequencing …

The yellow-banded bumblebee Bombus terricola was common in North America but has
recently declined and is now on the IUCN Red List of threatened species. The causes of B …

Genomic phylogeography plays an important role in describing evolutionary processes and
their geographic, ecological, or cultural drivers. These drivers are often poorly understood in …

Social structure can have a significant impact on divergence and evolution within species,
especially in the marine environment, which has few environmental boundaries to dispersal …

Targeted capture coupled with high‐throughput sequencing can be used to gain information
about nuclear sequence variation at hundreds to thousands of loci. Divergent reference …

Populations in isolated and small fragments lose genetic variability very fast and are usually
of conservation concern because they are at greater risk of local extinction. The largest …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP s) are replacing microsatellites for population
genetic analyses, but it is not apparent how many SNP s are needed or how well SNP s …

The management of hunted species is challenging, as it must conciliate the conservation of
species and their sustainable exploitation. Nongenetic tools are widely used in this context …
