Résumé :	Molecular tools are getting more and more important in the conservation of species. I here present an overview of source materials that can be used to obtain genetic material in bird studies. I further demonstrate how genetic studies can help us to address key questions in conservation. Using grouse as a model species 1 show how conservation units can be identified and that genetic tools can help us to infer barriers to dispersal. Identifying gene flow among areas and monitoring the number of individuals gives us the necessary knowledge to create the best corridors and develop specific management and action plans.
