Hi All: Genomics can be a very useful tool for the conservation of species. We are interes interested in examining the extent that genomics has been integrated into wildlif wildlife and fisheries management decisions.
We know of many genomic studies on wildlife species (ranging from species that that are rare to those that are economically important). We are looking for h for how the information from those studies are being used in wildlife manag management and conservation. For example, there are few cases of genomics provi providing increased resolution for stock identification. We are looking for m for more of these cases. We are also specifically looking for cases where a gen a gene under selection (e.g., a gene for thermal tolerance) has been ident identified and that information used in a management decision. If you or your colleagues have implemented genomic data into management dec decisions, we would greatly appreciate your help in answering the fol following: 1) Can you please describe the situation in a few sentences? 2) Can you point us to any of the management literature (e.g., recovery plan, ESA listing decision, federal register, state wildlife action action plan) that shows how the data were used? 3) Please direct us to the science that was used in the paper. Please send all responses to ashleywalt...@fs.fed.us. Thanks!
