[(Conservation and the Genetics of Populations)] [ By (author) Professor Fred W. Allendorf, By (author) Gordon H. Luikart, By (author) Sally N. Aitken ] [December, 2012]

Bought as a present for granddaughter.

This is by far the best genetics resource I have ever read. The authors not only introduce the topics, but put them into management perspective. Covers many of the issues faced by managers today with regards to species restoration projects, bottlenecking, founder issues, inbreeding depression, etc. Also provides many case history examples to bring all the genetic information together; very helpful. Great resource for field or research biologists who may have been away from genetics for a while.

Well written and enjoyable to read. This gives the reader a good grasp of modern tools for conservation of rare species

I like the book because I learn a lot from reading it, doing the exercises on the book and try to think about what I read on the book in a really life situation really helps me to understand the conservation genetics topic.
