Introduction to Conservation Genetics and Genomics (Paperback)

Paperback. The third edition of this essential introductory text has been fully updated in light of the genomics revolution. Providing authoritative and engaging coverage for students and professionals of conservation genetics and genomics, conservation biology, and wildlife biology, the authors explain the underpinning mathematics clearly and accessibly throughout. The critical link between theory and practice, so often obscured in applied genetics, is illuminated in each chapter through examples of diverse conservation issues (including strengthened plant coverage), the solutions needed, and detailed step-by-step guides on how genetic principles can be applied. Self-learning is further facilitated through problem sets with solutions, case studies, main point boxes, symbol and software lists, and approximately 600 engaging full-color photos and 300 graphics which relate genetic processes to species level conservation. Highlighting the interdependence between 'ecology' and 'genetics,' this text is educationally rich and visually stunning. Extensively updated third edition, addressing disciplinary advances, with expanded content on plants and genomics in particular. Now in full color, it offers authoritative coverage for students and professionals in conservation genetics and genomics, conservation biology, and wildlife biology, in an educationally rich and visually stunning way.
