This book, aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students and professional conservation biologists, provides an overview of the role of genetics in the conservation of (wild) species threatened with extinction. It examines genetic and phenotypic variation in natural populations, the principles and mechanisms of evolutionary change and the interpretation of genetic data from natural populations. Each chapter includes a “guest box” written by a leading author in the respective field and also contains a set of discussion questions and problems.
