Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
It provides a thorough exploration of the genetic issues faced by fragmented populations, the reasons why the use of genetic rescue has been limited to date and the theory and practicalities of re-establishing gene flow. * Dr Mark Eldridge, Australian Museum * This is likely to become a standard text on the subject; it should be essential for any library serving a conservation biology program. Essential. * C. E. Buckley, CHOICE * The book complements existing conservation genetic textbooks by delving into the specific conservation problem of loss of genetic diversity in small, isolated populations. Its foundation is a paradigm shift in conservation biology, where genetic rescue is more frequently used for the conservation of endangered populations, and it provides managers with the decision tools to effectively implement genetic rescue. * Amy B. Welsh, School of Natural Resources, West Virginia University, The Journal of Wildlife Management * The book is well written, with a wealth of relevant plant and animal examples in a clear, accessible format. Particularly useful is the explanation of the various population genetics statistic approaches, as is the extensive glossary... Highly recommend this book for both academic and practising conservation managers. * Paul Ashton, Edge Hill University, The Biologist * [This book is] very readable, often unexpected for an academic text. If you struggle with some of the more complex equations there are many practical, interesting and easily understood examples of what they mean, how they have been implemented and the outcomes. * Derek Spielman, University of Sydney, Australian Zoologist * Read more...
