This book focuses on the use of molecular tools to study small
populations of rare and endangered mammals, and presents case
studies that apply an evolutionary framework to address innovative
questions in the emerging field of mammalian conservation genomics
using a highly diverse set of novel molecular tools. Novel and more
precise molecular technologies now allow experts in the field of
mammology to interpret data in a more contextual and empirical
fashion and to better describe the evolutionary and ecological
processes that are responsible for the patterns they observe. The
book also demonstrates how recent advances in genetic/genomic
technologies have been applied to assess the impact of
environmental/anthropogenic changes on the health of small
populations of mammals. It examines a range of issues in the field
of mammalian conservation genomics, such as the role that the
genetic diversity of the immune system plays in disease protection
and local adaptation; the use of noninvasive techniques and genomic
banks as a resource for monitoring and restoring populations; the
structuring of population by physical barriers; and genetic
diversity. Further, by integrating research from a variety of areas
- including population genetics, molecular ecology, systematics,
and evolutionary and conservation biology - it enables readers to
gain a deeper understanding of the conservation biology of mammals
that are at increasing risk of extinction at local, regional and
global scales. As such, it offers a unique resource for a broad
readership interested in the conservation biology of mammals and
conservation management strategies to better preserve biodiversity.
