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. This book bridges this gap and is intended for advanced students and research workers in conservation genetics who are searching for an overview and integration of theoretical and practical topics in this field.
