"The book ... admirably cover the breadth of current focal areas in wildlife genetics. ... Perhaps most impressively, and most usefully, many chapters address a common issue for geneticists: how to effectively bridge the gap between research and application. ... This chapter, combined with an entire part devoted to conservation and management, cements this volume as a valuable tool for students, researchers, and managers working across the broad spectrum of wildlife genomics research."
