Conservation genetics is the application of genetics to understand and reduce the risk of
population and species extinctions. It deals with genetic factors causing rarity …

Despite advances in toxicity testing and the development of new approach methodologies
(NAMs) for hazard assessment, the ecological risk assessment (ERA) framework for …

Genetic diversity underpins the ability of populations to persist and adapt to environmental
changes. Substantial empirical data show that genetic diversity rapidly deteriorates in small …

Many threatened species rely on ecotourism for conservation funding, but simultaneously
suffer direct ecological impacts from ecotourism. For a range of IUCN-Redlisted terrestrial …

Population viability analysis (PVA) has been used for three decades to assess threats and
evaluate conservation options for wildlife populations. What has been learned from PVA on …

The field of plant population ecology has advanced considerably in the last decade since
the first edition was published. In particular there have been substantial and ongoing …

It has been proposed that in slow‐growing vertebrate populations survival generally has a
greater influence on population growth than reproduction. Despite many studies cautioning …

Biological invasions are a big concern due to their potential to impact ecosystems, as well as
local people. The hippo Hippopotamus amphibius, native to Africa, has invaded extensive …

Over the past 50 years conservation genetics has developed a substantive toolbox to inform
species management. One of the most long‐standing tools available to manage genetics …

This study used a previously developed stochastic simulation model (Miller et al. 2014) to
estimate the impact of different management actions on free-roaming kitten and cat mortality …
