Population Genetics of Death Valley Pupfishes (Cyprinodontidae:Cyprinodon Spp.) and the Identification of a New Retrotransposable Element Family
Study of the genetic relationships and evolutionary histories of pupfish populations (Cyprinodontidae: Cyprinodon spp.) from the remnant aquatic habitats of Death Valley was approached by exploring the genetic structure and divergence within and among populations using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA …

An Assessment of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genomic Diversity and Structure in Western Canada to Guide Species Conservation and Management
… population genetic structure can help delineate units for conservation while detecting potentially cryptic population structure and diversity as well as undetected and/or mislabeled populations. For my M.Sc. thesis, I studied genomic diversity in caribou sampled throughout western Canada to …

Conservation genetics of the suni antelope Nesotragus moschatus von Dueben, 1846
… markers, I was able to identify two Evolutionarily Significant Units in southern and eastern Africa, as well as two possible Management Units in southern Africa. In addition to this, some degree of structuring was identified for the South African localities, however, finer scale …

Using a multi-dimensional approach to determine the conservation and taxonomic statuses of two rare crayfishes in northern Arkansas
… of the species. We identified three unique evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) in need of separate conservation attention. However, our morphological analysis had conflicting results, and only showed one of the recovered clades to be unique. Further genetic data should be analyzed in the …

The Application of Molecular Genetics to the Conservation Management of Quolls, Dasyurus Species (Dasyuridae:Marsupialia)
… species of quolls, and the definition of units for conservation within these species. The development of suitable nuclear markers was a vital first step in defining levels of genetic variability and differentiation within and between the different populations and species. These markers …

Behavioural Ecology in Conservation Planning: Individual and Sex-Specific Insights from Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Western Canada
… often relies on delineating intraspecific units to capture ecological and evolutionary diversity. To do this, traditional frameworks often emphasize genetic or taxonomic criteria as a first line of evidence for evolutionary significance. While useful, this approach assumes discrete …
