Fig. 4 Structure of conservation biology and the position of genetics in it (after Soulé 1985). Conservation biology is a crisis discipline akin to cancer biology, to which it is compared. What is conservation genetics? Conservation genetics deals with the genetic factors that affect extinction risk and genetic management regimes required to minimise these risks. There are 11 major genetic issues in conservation biology: • The deleterious effects of inbreeding on reproduction and survival (inbreeding depression) • Loss of genetic diversity and ability to evolve in response to environmental change Conservation genetics aims to minimize the risk of extinction from genetic factors 9 10 INTRODUCTION Fig.

They are stressed by trapping and become trap-shy. Sampling has been achieved by placing adhesive tape across their burrows to capture hair when the animals exit their burrows. DNA from non-invasive sampling can be used to identify individuals, determine mating patterns and population structure, and measure levels of genetic diversity (Chapters 10 and 19). Defining sites for reintroduction The northern hairy-nosed wombat exists in a single population of approximately 75 animals at Clermont in Queensland, Australia.
