Culture and conservation of non-humans with reference to whales and dolphins: review and new directions (2004, methodology): “There have been many approaches to defining ESUs (Fraser and Bernatchez, 2001), but the focus is on genetic separation, not cultural differences.”
The gap between the concept and definitions in the Evolutionarily Significant Unit: the need to integrate neutral genetic variation and adaptive variation (2007, methodology): “Some researchers situationally defined ESUs, like Fraser and Bernatchez (2001) (Table 1), i.e., identification of an ESU even if it does not fulfill a proposed definition, but identifying ESUs based on the data the researchers were able to obtain.”
Ex situ conservation genetics: a review of molecular studies on the genetic consequences of captive breeding programmes for endangered animal species (2011, background): “As the problem of management units (MU) has already been reviewed elsewhere (de Guia and Saitoh 2007; Fraser and Bernatchez 2001), the problem of hybridization, outbreeding and defining MUs is not discussed here in depth.”
Footprints on water: the genetic wake of dispersal among reefs (2007, background): “local selective regimes, and their distinctiveness should mark them as targets for conservation eVorts (Fraser and Bernatchez 2001).”
Cryptic biodiversity loss linked to global climate change (2011, background): “Efforts to delimit evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) for biodiversity-related fields acknowledge the fact that the morphospecies concept seems increasingly insufficient for holistic biodiversity estimate”
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.”
Species diversification and phylogeographical patterns of birds in response to the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Quaternary glaciations (2014, background): “…phylogeography provides valuable contributions to many other areas of biological and earth sciences, such as historical biogeography (Avise, 2000; Fraser and Bernatchez, 2001; Riddle and Hafner, 2006), biodiversity research and taxonomy (Avise and Ball, 1990; Beheregaray and Caccone, 2007;…”
The role of taxonomy in species conservation. (2004, background): “…even individuals, and exactly how these should be defined, delimited and determined has been a focus of continuing debate among conservation biologists for the past 20 years (Ryder 1986; Moritz 1994; Vogler & DeSalle 1994; Waples 1995; Crandall et al. 2000; Fraser & Bernatchez 2001; Pearman 2001).”
A metapopulation perspective for salmon and other anadromous fish (2007, background): “The metapopulation theory was indeed developed on other kinds of organisms, especially butterflies, while other concepts have become established for salmon, notably the evolutionarily significant unit (ESU: Waples 1991; Fraser and Bernatchez 2001).”
Consensus between genes and stones in the biogeographic and evolutionary history of Central America (2013, background): “3, E), for which the authors describe this population as an Evolutionary Significant Unit (Fraser and Bernatchez, 2001) (Fig.”
THE PACIFIC SALMON WARS: What Science Brings to the Challenge of Recovering Species (2002, background): “Although the ESU criteria for salmon are clear, approaches underlying ESU designations are not universally agreed upon in the broader conservation community (reviewed in Fraser & Bernatchez 2001).”
Microsatellites and their genomic distribution, evolution, function and applications : A review with special reference to fish genetics (2006, background): “The genotype data should be complemented with ecological and biological (e.g., life-history and behavioural) evidence (Crandall et al., 2000; Fraser and Bernatchez, 2001).”
Reticulate evolution and phenotypic diversity in North American ciscoes, Coregonus ssp. (Teleostei: Salmonidae): implications for the conservation of an evolutionary legacy (2004, methodology): “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.”
