The expansion of conservation genetics
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2004The 'crisis discipline' of conservation biology has voraciously incorporated many technologies to speed up and increase the accuracy of conservation decision-making. Genetic approaches to characterizing endangered species or areas that contain endangered species are prime examples of this. Technical advances in areas such as high-throughput sequencing,

Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2002
In this study, I describe genetic structure and degree of genetic divergence among Komodo dragon populations. Genetic analyses were carried out using blood and tissue samples collected from individuals on all of the islands that have dragons. Komodo dragons inhabit five islands, surrounded by relatively shallow waters (see Chapter 3), which were ...

Current Biology, 2021
Natural populations currently face a wide variety of threats including climate change, habitat loss, over-harvesting, invasive species and disease. The most recent report by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) found that ecosystems have declined by approximately 50% relative to historical ...

Where's the Conservation in Conservation Genetics?
Conservation Biology, 2008The molecular techniques for producing the type and quantity of data required for conservation studies are now available, and the number of statistical methods applicable to such genetic data is constantly growing. We propose two clear objectives critical to ensconcing conservation genetics as a mature and indispensable discipline: the regular and ...

Genomics and conservation genetics
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006In 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 in transition to conservation genomics
Trends in Genetics, 2010Over 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.

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 ...

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 ...

From Conservation Genetics to Conservation Genomics
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009Although 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,
