Article Synopsis
- Conservation genetics has evolved significantly in the last 50 years, offering valuable tools for managing species, particularly through the use of pedigrees to assess and enhance genetic diversity in threatened populations.
- High throughput sequencing technologies have raised questions about the necessity of continuing pedigree collection, as they can provide insights into relatedness and inbreeding.
- The authors argue that pedigrees remain essential and, when integrated with genomic data, enhance conservation efforts by addressing data issues while fostering collaboration among researchers and communities.
