DNA barcoding and conservation • Can the ESU concept be integrated in an animal DNA barcoding approach?
DNA barcoding and conservation • Does mtDNA diversity reflect population size in animal populations? Ref: Bazin et al., 2006. Population size does not influence mitochondrial genetic diversity in animals. Science 312, 570-572.
DNA barcoding and conservation • Would multiple (nuclear) genes better reflect molecular diversity and evolutionary potential than a single mtDNA gene? Ref: Rubinoff, D. 2006. Utility of mitochondrial DNA barcodes in species conservation. Conservatin Biology xxx, xx-xxx.
