The importance of reproductive strategies in population genetic approaches to conservation: an example from the marine angiosperm genus Zostera

2008-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Knowledge of the levels of genetic diversity maintained in natural populations can play a central role in conservation programmes, particularly in threatened habitats or species. Fluctuations in population size can lead to loss of variation and, consequently, increase the risk of extinction. We have examined whether such a genetic bottleneck has occurred in populations of two species in the seagrass genus Zostera,...
