Background Use of genomic tools to characterize wildlife populations has increased in
recent years. In the past, genetic characterization has been accomplished with more …

Heterozygosity is a metric of genetic variability frequently used to inform the management of
threatened taxa. Estimating observed and expected heterozygosities from genome‐wide …

Population genetic studies in non‐model systems increasingly use next‐generation
sequencing to obtain more loci, but such methods also generate more missing data that may …

Ninu (greater bilby, Macrotis lagotis) are desert-dwelling, culturally and ecologically
important marsupials. In collaboration with Indigenous rangers and conservation managers …

Over the past decade, the development of genetic and genomic tools for conservation
management has come forward in leaps and bounds. Once considered a 'nice to have' …

The value of genetic management is increasingly recognised in natural resource
management particularly in relation to threatened species conservation and translocations …

Climatic and evolutionary processes are inextricably linked to conservation. Avoiding
extinction in rapidly changing environments often depends upon a species' capacity to adapt …

Captive breeding and translocation, whereby selected individuals are used to supplement or
re‐establish failing populations, are powerful tools for conserving threatened fauna. These …

Climate change and deforestation are causing rainforests to become increasingly
fragmented, placing them at heightened risk of biodiversity loss. Invertebrates constitute the …
