Genetic Management of Fragmented Animal and Plant Populations

Must have for anyone studying fragmented or isolated poulations.

Good content.

Picked this book up at a recent conference. Just finished going though it. Quite approachable to the average practitioner. Very thorough and a great resource that doesn't get too thick (though a few spots I thought were treated lightly). As usual Frankham is lead, great to see the field moving forward with more and more basic best practice guidelines for this kind of thing. A nice conservation genetics book that is applicable to translocations. Some of the chapters on this topic in other recent reintroduction biology books cover much of this, but this is the most complete and covers many great case studies. My only complaint... is the margins are a bit big. There is a LOT of white space on each page, though some cute illustrations are tossed in here and there. It would be a lot shorter otherwise, but I suppose with the large margins it makes it more concise or easy to read and list off bulleted points. Im knocking a star off for that. But at 50 bucks, its quick cheap as far as these kind of books go.

Came quick and in excellent condition. Was a very good price for the quality. The information is not very informative and repeats itself in every chapter. If you really want to learn about genetics I would find a different book.
