Forest conservation genetics: principles and practice

<title>Abstract</title> The aim of this multiauthor book is to introduce readers with a wide variety of backgrounds to the principles and practice of forest conservation genetics through 22 chapters which deal with: genetic principles and basic genetic processes; genetic threats to forest species and in situ conservation; the effects of domestication and ex situ restoration on forest gene pools; and the interations between genetics and socio-economics as they relate to formation of forest policy. Where possible, case studies have been emphasized to provide practical illustrations of concepts being discussed. To this end, the population genetics package, POPGENE, is included with the book as a CD-ROM to provide a hands-on tool for the analysis and interpretation of a wide range of genetic data. The references are all given at the end of the book. There is a subject index. The individual chapters are noticed separately on CAB Abstracts.
