Low genetic diversity in a marine nature reserve: re-evaluating diversity criteria in reserve design.
Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 May 2005

Abstract excerpt
Little consideration has been given to the genetic composition of populations associated with marine reserves, as reserve designation is generally to protect specific species, communities or habitats. Nevertheless, it is important to conserve genetic diversity since it provides the raw material for the maintenance of species diversity over longer, evolutionary time-scales and may also confer the basis for...
