A Primer of Conservation Genetics
Editorial Reviews
Review
'A Primer of Conservation Genetics is ideal for absolute beginners as well as those seeking to consolidate knowledge. The authors bring to the book the wealth of their own experience in laboratory experimentation, hands-on genetic management and empirical data collection ... So will A Primer of Conservation Genetics lead to greater advantage being taken of the opportunities offered by conservation genetics to aid in the preservation of our wondrous mammalian diversity? I believe its effective promotion of a greater understanding of genetic concepts is a major step in the right direction.' Australian Mammalogy Reviews
'... as an introduction to conservation genetics for the undergraduate or novice practitioner, this book is excellent, and there is presently no other resource that covers the subject at this level. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is involved in conservation, in any context and at any level, but who lacks a basic understanding of the genetic issues that are increasingly being recognized as a great importance in conservation biology.' Oryx
'All you need is in this book ... This is only a primer, and an excellent one, so good students will want more. It provides exactly what it says on the cover.' Biologist
