Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

Although the potential genetic risks associated with rare or endangered plants and small
populations have been discussed previously, the practical role of population genetics in …

About 50 y ago, Crow and Kimura [An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory (1970)]
and Ohta and Kimura [Genet. Res. 22, 201–204 (1973)] laid the foundations of conservation …

Genetic diversity is one of the three forms of biodiversity recognized by the World
Conservation Union (IUCN) as deserving conservation. The need to conserve genetic …

1. Conservation biology has two threads: the small-population paradigm which deals with
the effect of smallness on the persistence of a population, and the declining-population …

Stochastic factors affecting the demography of a single population are analyzed to
determine the relative risks of extinction from demographic stochasticity, environmental …

Conservation genetics is the genetics of rarity and extinction. This discipline has arisen in
response to the depletion of the biological diversity of the planet through habitat loss …

Identifying recently bottlenecked populations (populations severely reduced in size) is
important because bottlenecks can increase demographic stochasticity, rate of inbreeding …

Although extensive work has been done on the relationship between population size and
the risk of extinction due to demographic and environmental stochasticity, the role of genetic …

While the impacts of high exploitation on fish populations and aquatic ecosystems are well-
documented for commercial fishing, particularly in the marine environment, the potential …
