Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change (GCC) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

The identification of population bottlenecks is critical in conservation because populations
that have experienced significant reductions in abundance are subject to a variety of genetic …

I consider how the study of genetic variation has influenced efforts to conserve natural
populations over the last 50 years. Studies with allozymes in the 1970s provided the first …

Increasing habitat fragmentation leads to wild populations becoming small, isolated, and
threatened by inbreeding depression. However, small populations may be able to purge …

Abstract" Recently" is defined as within approximately the past 2 n e-4 ne generations,
depending on several factors such as the severity of the bottleneck and the mutation rate of …

We demonstrate that the mean ratio of the number of alleles to the range in allele size, which
we term M, calculated from a population sample of microsatellite loci, can be used to detect …

Understanding how spatial genetic patterns respond to landscape change is crucial for
advancing the emerging field of landscape genetics. We quantified the number of …

Multilocus genoty** of microbial pathogens has revealed a range of population structures,
with some bacteria showing extensive recombination and others showing almost complete …

Genetic stochasticity due to small population size contributes to population extinction,
especially when population fragmentation disrupts gene flow. Estimates of effective …

Although differences in sampling intensity can bias comparisons of allelic richness (A)
among populations, investigators often fail to correct estimates of A for differences in sample …
