    Trends Ecol Evol 22:25-33. 2007
    ..Here, we illustrate how DNA and population genetic data can provide valuable information, often unattainable via other approaches, for monitoring species of management, conservation and ecological interest...

    Michael K Schwartz
    Wildlife Biology Program, School of Forestry, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59812, USA
