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,

Genomics and conservation genetics

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006
In large part, the relevance of genetics to conservation rests on the premise that neutral marker variation in populations reflects levels of detrimental and adaptive genetic variation. Despite its prominence, this tenet has been difficult to evaluate, until now.

Conservation Genetics

2004
Conservation genetics is an interdisciplinary science that aims to apply genetic methods to the conservation and restoration of biodiversity. In recent years, the field has been expanding due to advances in technologies and related disciplines, including genomics.

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.

Genetics and conservation

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1992
Abstract The basic sciences of genetics and ecology have long played a vital role in agriculture. New technologies spawning a gene revolution promise to revolutionize agricultural genetics. The opportunities to utilize these new techniques, along with standard methods of animal and plant breeding, are great for agriculture, conservation biology, and ...

Conservation genetics

2017
The chapter looks into conservation genetics as a method used to mitigate extinction. It explains how molecular genetics is used in conservation biology. Molecular systemics are great assets in wildlife forensic investigations. PCR technology enables genetic studies to be conducted on rare species.

Evolutionary Conservation Genetics

2006
Abstract The biodiversity of the planet is being rapidly depleted as a direct and indirect consequence of human actions (referred to as the “sixth extinction”; Leakey & Lewin 1995). An unknown but large number of species are already extinct, while many others have reduced population sizes that put them at risk.
