Conservation Genetics
Conservation Genetics is the study of the genetic diversity and structure of species populations, in order to better inform the conservation of biodiversity. This involves assessing the size and structure of gene pools, and understanding how genetic diversity is affected by environmental stressors, such as habitat fragmentation, pollution, and climate change. By understanding the genetic diversity of a species, conservationists can more effectively devise conservation plans and practices. This can help to maintain and promote the survival of species, and promote biodiversity in the face of increasing environmental change.
