SUMMARYThe conservation of genetic resources is discussed in relation to the stages in the evolution of crop plants. Strategies for the collection and conservation of wild species, landraces and advanced cultivars are considered in relation to the pratical needs of plant breeders and other users.

Butterfly Conservation Genetics
2015Conservation programs are challenged with preventing biodiversity loss; losses that have typically been managed as preservation of individual species and groups. An increasing focus on different levels of biodiversity has promoted methods evaluating the genetic diversity in these species as a tool in preventing species loss.

Conservation Genetics in Raptors
2018Biodiversity is being depleted worldwide at unprecedented rates, due to direct or indirect human actions. These biodiversity losses affect all three fundamental and interrelated levels of biodiversity: ecosystems, species and genetic levels. Conservation genetics emerged in the 1970s as a discipline committed to preserve genetic diversity and minimize ...

Perspective on conservation genetics
1994Conservation genetics is an applied science. Much as electrical engineering is the application of principles of physics to building rockets, satellites and television stations, conservation genetics takes the methods and theories of molecular biology, genetics and evolution, and interprets the natural history of a threatened population, the hope being ...

Population Genetics for Animal Conservation
2001It is widely accepted among conservation biologists that genetics is, more than ever, an essential and efficient tool for wild and captive population management and reserve design. However, a true synergy between population genetics and conservation biology is lacking.

Ecogeography and genetic conservation
1999The current threat to plant genetic diversity from global genetic erosion, coupled with the use by contemporary biotechnological techniques for the utilisation of genetic material from diverse species, has lead to increased professional and public demand for more efficient and effective species conservation. This demand was most eloquently expressed at

Genetics and Conservation Biology
1991Genetics can be applied to many problems in the area of conservation biology, and four such uses will be illustrated in this paper. First is conservation forensics in which genetic techniques are used to aid the enforcement of laws concerning endangered species.
