• Reticulate evolution and phenotypic diversity in North American ciscoes, Coregonus ssp. (Teleostei: Salmonidae): implications for the conservation of an evolutionary legacy (2004, background): “The lack of congruence between phenotypic and genetic divergence can be reconciliated by adopting the general principle advocated by Adaptive Evolutionary Conservation (AEC) (Fraser and Bernatchez 2001), which allows for the dynamic and context-based combination of various ESU criteria.”
• Genetic Diversity and Conservation Units: Dealing With the Species-Population Continuum in the Age of Genomics (2018, background): “Although less contentious than taxonomic delimitation and the species level debate, but in many ways just as complex, has been the significant discussion over the definition and delimitation of conservation units as important elements of intraspecific diversity that need consideration in conservatio”
• Translating conservation genetics into management: Pan-European minimum requirements for dynamic conservation units of forest tree genetic diversity (2013, background): “However, no single ESU approach is the best one for all situations (Fraser and Bernatchez, 2001) and there is no universal threshold for MVP either (Flather et al.”
• Footprints on water: the genetic wake of dispersal among reefs (2007, background): “Such isolated populations should respond independently to local selective regimes, and their distinctiveness should mark them as targets for conservation eVorts ( Fraser and Bernatchez 2001 ).”
• Contemporary evolution meets conservation biology (2003, background): “Evolutionary concerns are also reflected in the designation of conservation units [8, 9 ] and management plans that seek to conserve both process and pattern [10,11].”
• Effects of Widespread Fish Introductions on Paedomorphic Newts in Europe (2005, background): “Legislation should take into account heterochronic morphs as conservation units (Fraser & Bernatchez 2001) and stopping non-native fish introductions should be considered.”
• Highways block gene flow and cause a rapid decline in genetic diversity of desert bighorn sheep (2005, background): “the ability of a population to adapt to future changes in biotic and abiotic factors such as climate change (Frankel & Soule 1981; Lande 1998; Fraser & Bernatchez 2001; Hedrick 2005).”
• Designatable Units for Status Assessment of Endangered Species (2005, background): “Subsequently, numerous competing criteria for determining ESUs have emerged (Fraser & Bernatchez 2001; Moritz 2002; Waples 2005), the most influential being those of Waples (1991, 1995) and Moritz (1994).”
