About this book

Population genomics is revolutionizing wildlife biology, conservation, and management by providing key and novel insights into genetic, population and landscape-level processes in wildlife, with unprecedented power and accuracy. This pioneering book presents the advances and potential of population genomics in wildlife, outlining key population genomics concepts and questions in wildlife biology, population genomics approaches that are specifically applicable to wildlife, and application of population genomics in wildlife population and evolutionary biology, ecology, adaptation and conservation and management. It is important for students, researchers, and wildlife professionals to understand the growing set of population genomics tools that can address issues from delineation of wildlife populations to assessing their capacity to adapt to environmental change. This book brings together leading experts in wildlife population genomics to discuss the key areas of the field, as well as challenges, opportunities and future prospects of wildlife population genomics.

Reviews

“The book … admirably cover the breadth of current focal areas in wildlife genetics. … Perhaps most impressively, and most usefully, many chapters address a common issue for geneticists: how to effectively bridge the gap between research and application. … This chapter, combined with an entire part devoted to conservation and management, cements this volume as a valuable tool for students, researchers, and managers working across the broad spectrum of wildlife genomics research.” (Paige A. Byerly, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 97 (3), September, 2022)
