| Subspecies of tigers: molecular assessment using "voucher specimens" of geographically traceable individuals | |
| 1999 Book Chapter | |
Increasing awareness of biodiversity depletion over the past two decades has highlighted concerns about conservation of endangered species and their included genetic diversity. Conservation genetic analyses offer insight into recent natural history, present status and future survival implications of endangered populations. A basic supposition of conservation genetics is that the preservation of genetic variability within rare or endangered species will enhance the chances of its survival over time. Because of highly endangered status of the tiger, it is important to assess the genetic variation of surviving populations to assist in developing management plans for the species. |
