Conservation genetics in transition to conservation genomics

Trends in Genetics, 2010
Over the past twenty years conservation genetics has progressed from being mainly a theory-based field of population biology to a full-grown empirical discipline. Technological developments in molecular genetics have led to extensive use of neutral molecular markers such as microsatellites in conservation biology.

Novel Conservation Strategies to Conserve Australian Marsupials

2023
The Australian marsupial fauna has been devastated in the past 250 years, mainly due to impacts from invasive mammalian predators (cats and foxes), although other threats such as invasive herbivores, habitat loss and fragmentation, changes to fire regimes, and now climate change have played a role.

Conservation Genetics

Annual Review of Genetics, 1995
Inbreeding depression, accumulation and loss of deleterious mutations, loss of genetic variation in small populations, genetic adaptation to captivity and its effect on reintroduction success, and outbreeding depression are reviewed. The impact of genetic factors in endangerment and extinction has been underestimated in some recent publications ...

Was Conservative Housing Policy Really Conservative?

Housing, Theory and Society, 2001
This paper examines the relationship between conservative social theory and the housing policies of the British Conservative party between 1979 and 1997. The paper defines the nature of conservative social theory, stressing its dispositional nature. The paper then considers the main themes of Conservative housing policy. In the third part of the paper,

Conservative mastectomy: extending the idea of breast conservation

The Lancet Oncology, 2012
Conservative mastectomy is a surgical technique to remove breast glandular tissue without disruption to the appearance of the breast. The main contraindication to this operation is involvement of the nipple-areola complex. Preservation of a healthy nipple does not affect long-term survival rates.

Conservation Biology and Real‐World Conservation

Conservation Biology, 2006
Abstract:  In the 20 years since Conservation Biology was launched with the aim of disseminating scientific knowledge to help conserve biodiversity and the natural world, our discipline has hugely influenced the practice of conservation. But we have had less impact outside

Conserving Conservative women

2017
This chapter discusses the issues affecting the acquisition and preservation of archival material relating to Conservative women, and how this necessarily impacts on our understanding of the role of women and gender within the Conservative Party. It looks at the difficulties affecting archivists particularly with regard to changing cultural attitudes ...

From Conservation Genetics to Conservation Genomics

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009
Although the application of population and evolutionary genetic theory and methods to address issues of conservation relevance has a long history, the formalization of conservation genetics as a research field is still relatively recent. One of the periodic catalysts for increased research effort in the field has been advances in molecular technologies,
