Bridging the conservation genetics gap by identifying barriers to implementation for conservation practitioners (2017, background): “…the USA (Haig et al., 2016), Canada and South Africa (Cook and Sgrò, 2016), Australia (Cook and Sgrò, 2016; Pierson et al., 2016), Latin America (Rodriguez-Clark et al., 2015), the countries bordering the Baltic Sea (Laikre et al., 2016), and internationally (Cook and Sgrò, 2016; Laikre, 2010).”
The importance of considering genetic diversity in shark and ray conservation policies (2017, background): “However, the population genetic diversity of sharks and rays is generally neglected in fisheries management, and the possibility of change appears distant, as many international conservation efforts currently fail to acknowledge genetic variation (Laikre 2010; Ovenden et al. 2013).”
IUCN Red List and the value of integrating genetics (2020, background): “Over the past decade, several calls have been made to apply conservation genetics to policy (Laikre 2010; Storfer et al.”
Genetic diversity is considered important but interpreted narrowly in country reports to the Convention on Biological Diversity: Current actions and indicators are insufficient (2021, unknown): “It has been suggested that if investment is focused entirely or mostly on protecting genetic diversity in domesticated or economically important species, the genetic diversity of wild species may go unmonitored and unprotected (Laikre, 2010).”
Conservation implications of species–genetic diversity correlations (2014, result): “…results of studies on natural populations included in previous reviews, two additional studies missing from previous reviews (Robinson et al., 2010; Lamy et al., 2013) and our own unpublished data on Calopteryx damselfly populations and odonate stream communities (Calopteryx splendens and C.…”
Genetic diversity targets and indicators in the CBD post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework must be improved (2020, background): “development - concerns also noted elsewhere (Bruford et al., 2017; Convention on Biological Diversity, 2010b; Laikre, 2010).”
