Reviews

`[Topics which] will appeal to an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate ecological readership.' British Ecological Society Bulletin


Those in the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, and conservation biology will find this book very helpful, as the author explains the often-confusing but central parts of conservation genetics in a straightforward manner. This book would be an excellent seminar course textbook for students. Overall, I like this book, for (a) its clear and concise presentation of material, (b) its thorough review of genetic studies pertaining to conservation of species, and (c) its choice of genetic studies presented. * Ecological Society of America *
