Foreword P


Brussard



Introduction: genetics, demography and the conservation of fragmented populations




Introductory Concepts



Managing and monitoring genetic erosion




Inbreeding and outbreeding depression in fragmented populations




Demography and extinction in small populations




The metapopulation paradigm: a fragmented view of conservation biology




Population viability analysis for conservation: the good, the bad and the undescribed




Applications of population genetics and molecular techniques to conservation biology




Animal Case Studies



Inbreeding in small populations of red-cockaded woodpeckers: insights from a spatially-explicit individual-based model




Genetic erosion in isolated small mammal populations following rain forest fragmentation




The Tumut experiment - integrating demographic and genetic studies to unravel fragmentation effects: a case study of the native bush rat




Demographic evidence of inbreeding depression in wild golden lion tamarins




Inferring demography from genetics - a case study of the endangered golden sun moth




Genetic population structure in desert bighorn sheep: implications for conservation in




Plant Case Studies



Limited forest fragmentation improves reproduction in the declining New Zealand mistletoe Peraxilla tetrapetala (Loranthaceae)




Ecology and genetics of Grevillea (Proteaceae)



Genetic and demographic influences on population persistence: gene flow and genetic rescue in




Fragmentation in central American dry forests - genetic impacts on Swietenia humulis (Meliaceae




Population viability analysis of the rare Gentiana pneumonanthe: importance of genetics, demography and reproductive biology




Genetic erosion, restricted mating and reduced viability in fragmented populations of the endangered grassland herb Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides




Conclusions and Future Directions



What do we know about the genetic and demographic effects of habitat fragmentation and where do we go from here?
