• Strategies for the conservation of endangered freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera L.): a synthesis of Conservation Genetics and Ecology (2010, background): “Most recent conservation genetics research has focussed on the use of neutral genetic markers (Hedrick, 2004), which have been developed and applied in freshwater pearl mussel (Geist et al., 2003; Geist & Kuehn, 2005; Geist & Kuehn, 2008).”
• Provenance variation of ecologically important traits of forest trees: implications for restoration (2007, methodology): “However, such a strategy requires knowledge of the level and distribution of genetic diversity within the species of interest, and assessment of this can vary considerably, depending upon the technique used to detect it (Storfer 1999; Hedrick 2004).”
• THE MOLECULAR TOOLBOX: GENETIC TECHNIQUES IN WILDLIFE ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT (2005, background): “The role of MHC genes in pathogen resistance implies a link between the loss of population MHC diversity and increased susceptibility to disease (Arkush et al. 2002; Hedrick 2004).”
• The multifarious effects of dispersal and gene flow on contemporary adaptation (2007, background): “Controlled introductions of a related subspecies then reduced inbreeding and the prevalence of these maladaptive traits (Hedrick 2004; but see Gross 2005).”
• The evolutionary ecology of the major histocompatibility complex (2006, background): “Moreover, Hedrick (2004a) examined whether selection for intermediate numbers of alleles could retain high levels of diversity over time in natural populations, and concluded this was only possible with unrealistically high rates of mutation.”
• Applications of next generation sequencing in molecular ecology of non-model organisms (2011, background): “With the goal of conserving functionally important genetic information, studies have used genetic structure in ecologically relevant loci to identify taxonomic units of conservation interest (Hedrick, 2004; Ekblom et al., 2007).”
• Beyond the beneficial effects of translocations as an effective tool for the genetic restoration of isolated populations (2009, background): “Over the last few years conservation geneticists have embraced the concept of genetic restoration (Tallmon et al. 2004; Hedrick 2004, 2005) as a comprehensive approach to cope with the detrimental effects of isolation and small population size on the genetic variation of endangered populations.”
