IntroductiontoConservationGenetics - Assets
Introduction to Conservation GeneticsThe biological diversity of the planet is being rapidly depleted due to thedirect and indirectconsequencesof humanactivity. As the size ofanimaland plant populations decreases, loss of genetic diversity reduces theirability to adaptto changes in theenvironment, with inbreedingandreduced fitness inevitable consequences for most species. This textbook pro-vides a clear and comprehensive introduction to genetic principles andpractices involved in conservation. Topics covered include: evolutionary genetics of natural populations loss of genetic diversity in small populations inbreeding and loss of fitness population fragmentation resolving taxonomic uncertainties genetic management of threatened species contributions of molecular genetics to text is presented in an easy-to-follow format, with main pointsandterms clearly highlighted. Each chapter concludes with a concise summary,which, together with worked examples and problems andanswers, illumi-nates the key principles covered.
