A comparison of genetic and genomic approaches to represent evolutionary potential in conservation planning

open access: yesBiological Conservation, 2020
Emerging global change stressors have underlined the importance of informing conservation decisions with molecular diversity, particularly including intraspecific adaptive or evolutionary potential across species and populations.

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.

Conservation Genetics

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 ...

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 ...

Incorporating differences between genetic diversity of trees and herbaceous plants in conservation strategies

Conservation Biology, 2020
Reviews that summarize the genetic diversity of plant species in relation to their life history and ecological traits show that forest trees have more genetic diversity at population and species levels than annuals or herbaceous perennials.

Evolutionary principles and genetic considerations for guiding conservation interventions under climate change

Global Change Biology, 2020
Impacts of climate change are apparent in natural systems around the world. Many species are and will continue to struggle to persist in their current location as their preferred environment changes.

Meta‐analysis of genetic representativeness of plant populations under ex situ conservation in contrast to wild source populations

Conservation Biology, 2020
Ex situ conservation is widely used to protect wild plant species from extinction. However, it remains unclear how genetic variation of ex situ plant collections reflects diversity of wild source populations.

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,
