Overfishing drives population decline, which in turn drives loss of genetic diversity. Many
studies provide evidence of declines in genetic diversity; however, controversy exists within …

Background Use of genomic tools to characterize wildlife populations has increased in
recent years. In the past, genetic characterization has been accomplished with more …

Sustainable management of wild fisheries requires accurate delineation of reproductively
isolated stocks to avoid depletion of a commercially and ecologically important resource …

Heterozygosity is a metric of genetic variability frequently used to inform the management of
threatened taxa. Estimating observed and expected heterozygosities from genome‐wide …

Population genetic studies reveal biodiversity patterns and inform about drivers of
evolutionary differentiation and adaptation, including gene flow, drift and selection. This can …

Human impact is noticeable around the globe, indicating that a new era might have begun:
the Anthropocene. Continuing human activities, including land‐use changes, introduction of …

Native to eastern Asia, the Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus

Conservation management strategies for many highly threatened species include
conservation breeding to prevent extinction and enhance recovery. Pairing decisions for …

Estimates of gene flow resulting from landscape resistance inferences frequently inform
conservation management decision‐making processes. Therefore, results must be robust …

Accurate and testable species hypotheses are essential for measuring, surveying and
managing biodiversity. Taxonomists often rely on mitochondrial DNA barcoding to …
