Molecular techniques are rapidly becoming a necessity for biologists inmany areas, especially for those in such fields as ecology, conservationbiology, and evolutionary biology. This book lays out the principles and basictechniques for the molecular tools appropriate for addressing issues inconversation, as well as presenting a few case study examples showing howmolecular tools have been used successfully in conservation biology.
