This book aims to be a comprehensive review of the literature on the conservation genetics of the New World’s crocodilians, from the biological and demographical aspects of the living species to the application of molecular techniques for conservation purposes. It will cover the current status of the molecular genetics applied to phylogenetics, phylogeography, diversity, kinship and mating system, and hybridization as well its implications for decision making with regards to conservation of these species at academic and governmental level. This book can be used as a guide for graduate and  undergraduate students  to understand how conservation genetics techniques are carried out and how they can help preserve not only crocodilians but also other living species weiterlesen
