Molecular Approaches in Natural Resource Conservation and Management

doi:10.1017/CBO9780511777592

Recent advances in molecular genetics and genomics have been embraced by many in natural resource conservation. Today, several major conservation and management journals are now using 'genetics' editors to deal solely with the influx of manuscripts that employ molecular data. The editors have attempted to synthesize some of the major uses of molecular markers in natural resource management in a book targeted not only at scientists but also at individuals actively making conservation and management decisions. To that end, the text features contributors who are major figures in molecular ecology and evolution - many having published books of their own. The aim is to direct and distil the thoughts of these outstanding scientists by compiling compelling case histories in molecular ecology as they apply to natural resource management.

' … this text could make an excellent compilation for an advanced undergraduate or graduate level course on conservation genetics, as intended. it could be a useful text for a wider audience, who would benefit from reviews of molecular approaches in a variety of sub-disciplines … the book discusses some extremely interesting and crucial current topics in conservation and management with contributions from an excellent panel of diverse authors.'
