Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Accurate identification of sex in birds is important for the management and conservation of
avian wildlife in several ways, namely in the development of population, behavioral and …

Degraded DNA from suboptimal field sampling is common in molecular ecology. However,
its impact on techniques that use restriction site associated next‐generation DNA …

Genetic variation is a well‐known indicator of population fitness yet is not typically included
in monitoring programs for sensitive species. Additionally, most programs monitor …

The Scandinavian brown bear went through a major decline in population size
approximately 100 years ago, due to intense hunting. After being protected, the population …

Characterizing genetic structure across a species' range is relevant for management and
conservation as it can be used to define population boundaries and quantify connectivity …

Vitellogenin (Vtg) serves as the precursor of yolk protein and exhibits widespread
distribution in tissues, including in the ovary of both vertebrates and invertebrates. Vtg plays …

Simple Summary Most bird species have no distinct sexual dimorphic traits. Molecular
genetic sexing is considered one of the most accurate methods for sex determination in …

Genetic networks can characterize complex genetic relationships among groups of
individuals, which can be used to rank nodes most important to the overall connectivity of the …

Landscape genetic studies have focused on terrestrial animals more than any other
taxonomic group. This chapter focuses on applications of landscape genetics for …
