This unit covers a diversity of advanced topics in conservation genetics, including—population structuring of threatened taxa; provenance in restoration ecology; extinction processes; DNA barcoding uses and consequences—among others. The unit provides a background appropriate for future research in conservation biology, molecular ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and marine, plant or animal biology. It is also directly relevant to industry such as natural resource management, environment and conservation researchers and restoration ecology. -- Course Website
