A Multimolecular Perspective for Wildlife Recovery

When relocating wildlife to small and isolated populations, genetic viability is of upmost importance and justifies the need for long-term genetic monitoring to ensure its success. This session uses the recent relocation of wolves to Isle Royale as a case study, to demonstrate how implementing a variety of genetic tools can aid in our understanding of viability to inform relocation success.

• The role inbreeding plays within small and isolated populations
• Novel genetic methods to monitor wildlife noninvasively
• How to translate genetic information into direct management application

Join us to explore how molecular tools are used to assess and predict population viability, providing insights for informed management decisions.
