Article
I discuss future challenges and opportunities in genetic approaches to biodiversity conservation. Resolving taxonomy uncertainties and identifying diverged evolutionary units within species are both bedevilled by a plethora of definitions: the c[...]

Article
Richard Frankham, AuteurMany species have isolated, inbred populations that have a high risk of extinction from inbreeding depression. While inbreeding can be reversed by outcrossing (genetic rescue), doubts have been expressed about whether fitness benefits persist be[...]
Article
Richard Frankham, Auteur ; Corey J. A. Bradshaw, Auteur ; Barry W. Brook, AuteurConservation managers typically need to make prompt decisions based on limited information and resources. Consequently, generalisations have essential roles in guiding interventions. Here, we (i) critique information on some widely accepted gene[...]

Mendelson, Auteur ; Ingrid J. Porton, Auteur ; Katherine Ralls, Auteur ; Oliver A. Ryder, AuteurThe 26 definitions of species often yield different numbers of species and disparate groupings, with financial, legal, biological and conservation implications. Using conservation genetic considerations, we demonstrate that different species con[...]

Julian J. O'Grady, Auteur ; Barry W. Brook, Auteur ; David H. Reed, Auteur ; Jonathan D. Ballou, Auteur ; David W. Tonkyn, Auteur ; Richard Frankham, AuteurThe role of inbreeding depression in the extinction of wild populations is controversial, largely because there are no quantitative estimates of its impact using realistic levels of inbreeding depression. To address this deficiency, this study ([...]

Margaret E. Montgomery, Auteur ; Lynn M. Woodworth, Auteur ; Phillip R. England, Auteur ; David A. Briscoe, Auteur ; Richard Frankham, AuteurMany threatened species are being maintained in captivity to save them from extinction, often with the eventual aim of reintroduction. The objective of genetic management in captivity is to 'freeze' evolution i.e. to avoid genetic adaptation to [...]
