Pattern of population structuring between Belgian and Estonian bumblebees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Several population genetic studies investigated the extent of gene flow and population connectivity in bumblebees. In general, no restriction in gene flow is considered for mainland populations of common bumblebee species.

Unraveling the Complexity of the Ne/Nc Ratio for Conservation of Large and Widespread Pelagic Fish Species: Current Status and Challenges

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications
Estimating and understanding the ratio between effective population size (Ne) and census population size (Nc) are pivotal in the conservation of large marine pelagic fish species, including bony fish such as tunas and cartilaginous fish such as sharks ...

Low rates of hybridization between European wildcats and domestic cats in a human‐dominated landscape

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Hybridization between wild species and their domestic congeners is considered a major threat for wildlife conservation. Genetic integrity of the European wildcat, for instance, is a concern as they are outnumbered by domestic cats by several orders of ...

The conservation genetics juggling act: integrating genetics and ecology, science and policy

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2015
The field of conservation genetics, when properly implemented, is a constant juggling act integrating molecular genetics, ecology, and demography with applied aspects concerning managing declining species or implementing conservation laws and policies ...

Genetic evidence of population structuring in the neotropical freshwater fish Brycon hilarii (Valenciennes, 1850)

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Brycon hilarii is a migratory fish widely distributed throughout the Paraguay River Basin. It is appreciated in sport fishing and for its superior meat quality. It is also the main species for tourist attraction in the Bonito region (State of Mato Grosso

What can livestock breeders learn from conservation genetics and vice versa?

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2015
The management of livestock breeds and threatened natural population share common challenges, including small effective population sizes, high risk of inbreeding, and the potential benefits and costs associated with mixing disparate gene pools.

Recovery of a nearly extinct Galápagos tortoise despite minimal genetic variation

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2013
A species of Galápagos tortoise endemic to Española Island was reduced to just 12 females and three males that have been bred in captivity since 1971 and have produced over 1700 offspring now repatriated to the island.

Population genetics of the spotted seahorse (Hippocampus kuda) in Thai waters : implications for conservation

open access: yes, 2010
A population genetics approach was used to investigate the genetic diversity of the spotted seahorse (Hippocampus kuda) in Thai waters; specifically, the degree of genetic differentiation and species evolution was inferred from sequence analysis of 353 ...
