Population genetics for insect conservation and control
Conservation Science and PracticeInsects are essential not only for ecosystem functioning and food security but also comprise some of the world's most destructive invasive species. Therefore, both insect declines and invasions raise major conservation concerns globally and call for ...

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: CONSERVATION GENETICS OF FRESHWATER ORGANISMS
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2005 This manuscript serves as a summary of both the importance of genetics in conservation, and the range of methodological approaches available. Two somewhat distinct realms of conservation genetics are outlined. The first theoretically rests upon the field

Deleterious Variation in Natural Populations and Implications for Conservation Genetics. [PDF]
Annu Rev Anim Biosci, 2023 Deleterious mutations decrease reproductive fitness and are ubiquitous in genomes. Given that many organisms face ongoing threats of extinction, there is interest in elucidating the impact of deleterious variation on extinction risk and optimizing ...

The inflated significance of neutral genetic diversity in conservation genetics. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 The current rate of species extinction is rapidly approaching unprecedented highs, and life on Earth presently faces a sixth mass extinction event driven by anthropogenic activity, climate change, and ecological collapse.

Conservation genetics as a management tool: The five best-supported paradigms to assist the management of threatened species. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 About 50 y ago, Crow and Kimura [An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory (1970)] and Ohta and Kimura [Genet. Res. 22, 201–204 (1973)] laid the foundations of conservation genetics by predicting the relationship between population size and genetic ...

Waste not, want not: Microsatellites remain an economical and informative technology for conservation genetics. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Comparisons of microsatellites and single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have found that SNPs outperform microsatellites in population genetic analyses, questioning the continued utility of microsatellites in population and landscape genetics.
