Global meta-analysis shows action is needed to halt genetic diversity loss

Nature
Mitigating loss of genetic diversity is a major global biodiversity challenge1, 2, 3–4. To meet recent international commitments to maintain genetic diversity within species5,6, we need to understand relationships between threats, conservation management

The ethics of genetic engineering and gene drives in conservation

Conservation Biology, 2019
The ethical issues associated with using genetic engineering and gene drives in conservation are typically described as consisting of risk assessment and management, public engagement and acceptance, opportunity costs, risk and benefit distributions, 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.

Conservation Genetics: Techniques and Fundamentals

Ecological Applications, 1992
Conservation genetics utilizes the tools and concepts of genetics and applies them to problems in conservation biology. For example, molecular genetic techniques, such as protein electrophoresis, and analysis of mitochondrial DNA and highly variable nuclear genes (including DNA fingerprinting), have been important in documenting the extent and pattern ...

Population Genetics for Animal Conservation

2001
It 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.
