Book
Introduction to Conservation Genetics
TL;DR: Using molecular genetics in forensics and to understand species biology, the broader context: Population Viability Analysis (PVA) is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between Fitness and Genetic Diversity
David H. Reed,Richard Frankham +1 more
TL;DR: Concerns that the loss of heterozygosity has a deleterious effect on population fitness are strengthened and the IUCN designation of genetic diversity as worthy of conservation is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics and extinction
TL;DR: There is now sufficient evidence to regard the controversies regarding the contribution of genetic factors to extinction risk as resolved, and if genetic factors are ignored, extinction risk will be underestimated and inappropriate recovery strategies may be used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of genetic variation to population size in wildlife
TL;DR: There can be no doubt that genetic variation is related to population size, as Sould proposed, and vertebrates should have less genetic variation than invertebrates or plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective population size/adult population size ratios in wildlife : a review
TL;DR: The five most important variables explaining variation among estimates, in order of importance, were fluctuation in population size, variance in family size, form of TV used, taxonomic group and unequal sex-ratio.
