Towards genetic markers in animal populations as biomonitors for human-induced environmental change.

Ecology letters - 1 Jan 2007

Hoffmann Ary A, Daborn Phillip J

Abstract excerpt

Genetic markers provide potentially sensitive indicators of changes in environmental conditions because the genetic constitution of populations is normally altered well before populations become extinct. Genetic indicators in populations include overall genetic diversity, genetic changes in traits measured at the phenotypic level, and evolution at specific loci under selection. While overall genetic diversity has...
