Reintroduction of native species has become increasingly important in conservation
worldwide for recovery of rare species and restoration purposes. However, few studies have …

Rates of hybridization and introgression are increasing dramatically worldwide because of
translocations of organisms and habitat modifications by humans. Hybridization has …

In general, individuals who survive to reproduce have genotypes that work relatively well
under local conditions. Migrating or dispersing offspring elsewhere is likely to decrease an …

Biotic homogenization, the gradual replacement of native biotas by locally expanding non-
natives, is a global process that diminishes floral and faunal distinctions among regions …

In plant conservation, restoration (the augmentation or reestablishment of an extinct
population or community) is a valuable tool to mitigate the loss of habitat. However …

Otters are highly charismatic and popular animals of very considerable concern to
conservationists worldwide. Written by the pre-eminent authority in the field, this book builds …

Molecular markers appear to be poor indicators of heritable variation in adaptive traits.
Direct comparison of population structure in markers with that in traits is made possible by …

Stressful environmental conditions can be defined as those that lead to a sharp reduction in
fitness in populations. That is, when changed environmental conditions cause a drastic …

The setting of conservation priorities within species requires explicit goals and identification
of the appropriate targets for conservation. I suggest that the conservation goal should be to …

Patterns of phenotypic change across environmental gradients (eg, latitude, altitude) have
long captivated the interest of evolutionary ecologists. The pattern and magnitude of …
