| Résumé : |
Conservation and the Genetics of Populations gives a comprehensive overview of the essential background, concepts, and tools needed to understand how genetic information can be used to develop conservation plans for species threatened with extinction.:.; Provides a thorough understanding of the genetic basis of biological problems in conservation.; Uses a balance of data and theory, and basic and applied research, with examples taken from both the animal and plant kingdoms.; An associated website contains example data sets and software programs to illustrate population genetic processes and me... |
