This comprehensive book offers valuable insights into the application of molecular and genomic techniques to the study of populations of critically important species across diverse geographical scales. It delves into a wide array of topics relevant to biodiversity conservation, including population differentiation, landscape genomics, ecological interactions, phylogenetics, phylogeography, metagenomics, molecular methods, and data processing. The alarming rate of biodiversity loss is unprecedented, and precious genetic resources are being rapidly depleted. Developing effective strategies to safeguard these genetic resources is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems that rely on interdependent species. This book serves as an invaluable resource for training undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and young researchers. It is particularly useful for policy makers and academics seeking to gain a deeper understanding of important concepts in population and conservation genetics and genomics.

Population differentiation, landscape genomics, ecological interactions, phylogenetics, phylogeography, metagenomics, molecular methods, and data processing are just a few of the subjects covered in this book. It is a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and young researchers. It is also useful for policy makers and academics who want to learn about important concepts in population and conservation genetics and genomics.
