Genomics and the future of conservation genetics
We will soon have complete genome sequences from thousands of species, as well as from
many individuals within species. This coming explosion of information will transform our …

Landscape genetics: combining landscape ecology and population genetics
Understanding the processes and patterns of gene flow and local adaptation requires a
detailed knowledge of how landscape characteristics structure populations. This …

The long‐standing significance of genetic diversity in conservation
Since allozymes were first used to assess genetic diversity in the 1960s and 1970s,
biologists have attempted to characterize gene pools and conserve the diversity observed in …

Harnessing genomics for delineating conservation units
Genomic data have the potential to revolutionize the delineation of conservation units (CUs)
by allowing the detection of adaptive genetic variation, which is otherwise difficult for rare …

[HTML][HTML] Genetic diversity and conservation units: dealing with the species-population continuum in the age of genomics
Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

INVITED REVIEW: What is a population? An empirical evaluation of some genetic methods for identifying the number of gene pools and their degree of connectivity
RS Waples, O Gaggiotti - Molecular ecology, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We review commonly used population definitions under both the ecological paradigm
(which emphasizes demographic cohesion) and the evolutionary paradigm (which …
