Résumé :
|
The biological diversity of our planet is rapidly being depleted due to direct and indirect consequences of human activities. As the size of animal and plant populations decreases, loss of genetic diversity reduces their ability to adapt to changes in the environment, with inbreeding depression and inevitable consequence for many species. This concise, entry-level text provides and introduction to genetic studies in conservation and presents the essentials of the discipline.
