The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) is one of the most cherished and reviled laws ever passed. It mandates protection and preservation of all the nation’s species and biodiversity, whatever the cost. It has been a lightning rod for controversy and conflicts between industry/business and environmentalists. In this volume, leading Endangered Species Act experts interpret and propose legislative and administrative changes to prepare the ESA for future challenges. They explore regulations on avoiding harm to and producing benefits for species, cooperation between state and federal agencies, scientific analyses, and the necessary politics to enact their ideas. This is a call to action to chart an enlightened future for the Endangered Species Act that embraces the nation’s moral commitment of 50 years ago to address species extinction constructively, mindful of biodiversity, and as a fixture among the nation’s values and needs. The interconnected web of life includes all living species that depend on each other for survival, us among them. The stakes—our very future—are too high to ignore.

The relentless loss of biodiversity is among the greatest problems facing the world today. The third edition of this established textbook provides an updated and comprehensive overview of the essential background, concepts, and tools required to understand how genetics can be used to conservespecies, reduce threat of extinction, and manage species of ecological or commercial importance. This edition is thoroughly revised to reflect the major contribution of genomics to conservation of populations and species. It includes two new chapters: "Genetic Monitoring" and a final "ConservationGenetics in Practice" chapter that addresses the role of science and policy in conservation genetics.New genomic techniques and statistical analyses are crucial tools for the conservation geneticist. This accessible and authoritative textbook provides an essential toolkit grounded in population genetics theory, coupled with basic and applied research examples from plants, animals, and microbes. Thebook examines genetic and phenotypic variation in natural populations, the principles and mechanisms of evolutionary change, evolutionary response to anthropogenic change, and applications in conservation and management.Conservation and the Genomics of Populations helps demystify genetics and genomics for conservation practitioners and early career scientists, so that population genetic theory and new genomic data can help raise the bar in conserving biodiversity in the most critical 20 year period in the historyof life on Earth. It is aimed at a global market of applied population geneticists, conservation practitioners, and natural resource managers working for wildlife and habitat management agencies. It will be of particular relevance and use to upper undergraduate and graduate students taking coursesin conservation biology, conservation genetics, and wildlife management.

The most straightforward contribution of genetics to conservation has been the use of neutral markers, such as microsatellite loci, to estimate evolutionary and demographic processes (e.g. loss of genetic diversity, increase in genetic structure, population bottlenecks, migration rates) occurring in endangered and vulnerable wildlife. To this extent, next-generation sequencing technologies have enabled scientists to examine thousands or even millions of neutral loci with relative ease and at low cost in non-model species. Unlike classic population genetics studies, genomics has emerged as a reliable field to study selection and the distribution of loci affecting fitness across the entire genome. In this study, I used genomics and classic population genetics approaches to understand and/or to predict the evolutionary consequences of introductions and reintroductions in wildlife, with implications for its management and conservation. First, I employed whole-genome sequences from Florida panthers and Texas pumas to assemble and annotate the genome of the puma. In this regard, I detected genes under positive selection that could be associated with inbreeding depression traits observed in the Florida panther (e.g. heart failure, cryptorchidism, spermatozoal defects, low testosterone levels, immune deficiencies). Second, I examined the evolutionary consequences of multiple introduction events in Florida panther mitochondrial genetic diversity. Finally, I used mitochondrial DNA and composite microsatellite data in order to develop a management strategy to reintroduce captive Arabian oryx into the wild.

One of the greatest unmet challenges in conservation biology is the genetic management of fragmented populations of threatened animal and plant species. More than a million small, isolated, population fragments of threatened species are likely suffering inbreeding depression and loss of evolutionary potential, resulting in elevated extinction risks. Although these effects can often be reversed by re-establishing gene flow between population fragments, managers very rarely do this. On the contrary, genetic methods are used mainly to document genetic differentiation among populations, with most studies concluding that genetically differentiated populations should be managed separately, thereby isolating them yet further and dooming many to eventual extinction! Many small population fragments are going extinct principally for genetic reasons. Although the rapidly advancing field of molecular genetics is continually providing new tools to measure the extent of population fragmentation and its genetic consequences, adequate guidance on how to use these data for effective conservation is still lacking. This accessible, authoritative text is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in conservation biology, conservation genetics, and wildlife management. It will also be of particular relevance to conservation practitioners and natural resource managers, as well as a broader academic audience of conservation biologists and evolutionary ecologists.

We estimated probability of extinction within the next 100 years at 3.7% (2.5 and 97.5 percentiles: 0 55%), but a probability of dropping below 30 females at some point within the next 100 years at 73.2% (2.5 and 97.5 percentiles: 1 100%). These estimates were largely based on data collected during a period of population increase (1995-2008), and do not consider the potential effects of catastrophic events or future changes in anthropogenic influences and habitat conditions; thus, the risk faced by the panther population is likely to be greater than those indicated by our results. The deterministic estimate for population growth without introgression was 0.95 (2.5 and 97.5 percentiles: 0.82 1.07), suggestive of a shrinking population, but effects of introgression on population persistence were mixed. We cannot conclude that observed population growth would not have happened without introgression. Nonetheless, our results along with those reporting improvements in biomedical indicators of inbreeding depression, do provide strong evidence that genetic introgression contributed substantially to the observed increases in Florida panther population.
