Reviews
'… the second edition of Introduction to Conservation Genetics should provide an excellent basis for developing an introductory graduate or upper-level undergraduate course on conservation genetics. Instructors should also be able to incorporate some material into more general courses on conservation biology, population genetics, or evolution … However, the utility of this new edition is not limited to classroom instruction. Scientists looking to learn more about this research area can use it to gain a basic foundation, and specialists will find it a handy tool for quick cross-referencing of the field's primary literature.' Plant Science Bulletin, '... given its breadth and up-to-date treatment of the literature, the text should be of considerable value to students interested in conservation genetics and to the professional who needs a complete reference.' TRENDS in Ecology Evolution, '… given its breadth and up-to-date treatment of the literature, the text should be of considerable value to students interested in conservation genetics and to the professional who needs a complete reference.' TRENDS in Ecology Evolution, '… a good introduction to the topic. There are strong diagrams to aid understanding and a range of summaries, reading lists and problems to stretch the mind further.' TEG News, '... an excellent introduction to population and quantitative genetics ... Introduction to Conservation Genetics is an important book; it has authoritative reviews and lucid descriptions of population and quantitative genetics. it is beautifully put together and illustrated ... I anticipate that this book and its successors will be the standard text and reference for years to come.' Charles E. Taylor, Conservation Biology, '… a commendable degree of detailed information … the book's broad approach and reader-friendly presentation will ensure that it will continue to be the standard textbook on this subject.'

Synopsis
This impressive author team brings the wealth of advances in conservation genetics into the new edition of this introductory text, including new chapters on population genomics and genetic issues in introduced and invasive species. They continue the strong learning features for students - main points in the margin, chapter summaries, vital support with the mathematics, and further reading - and now guide the reader to software and databases. Many new references reflect the expansion of this field. With examples from mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, plants and invertebrates, this is an ideal introduction to conservation genetics for a broad audience. The text tackles the quantitative aspects of conservation genetics, and has a host of pedagogy to support students learning the numerical side of the subject. Combined with being up-to-date, its user-friendly writing style and first-class illustration programme forms a robust teaching package., An impressive author team brings the wealth of advances in conservation genetics into the new edition, including two new chapters on population genomics and genetic issues in introduced and invasive species.

- r***r (2948)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (12)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.

The price was great and so was the seller's customer service when I contacted them with a question. I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again!
