Abstract

AbstractIn this chapter, we discuss the importance of and methods for delineating conservation units, including species and intraspecific units (e.g., evolutionarily significant units and management units). It is essential to conserve all levels of biodiversity, including genes, populations, species, and ecosystems, for effective biodiversity conservation. Phylogenies—evolutionary trees that depict the patterns and timing of branching events in the evolutionary history of taxa—are an essential concept and tool for delineating species. Genetic and genomic data also play a key role in defining populations and the relationships among individuals and populations within species. Genetic relationships can be depicted using a variety of population- or individual-based analyses. Phenotypic and environmental data should be integrated with genetic and genomic data for robust inference of conservation units.
