Past and present diversitycompared by genetic methodsExample• Genetic diversity of the contemporary British population was comparedto British and Irish museum specimen• Only slight evidence for a loss of genetic variation• The population persisted despite ancient bottleneck• No evidence for population genetic structure• Therefore, all eagles belong to the same populationBourke et al. 2010, Conservation Genetics
Safeguarding one population andhabitatExample• The golden eagles of the British Isles should be considered a singlepopulation unit –the extinct Irish population was not differentiatedfrom the British one• Individuals from the British population are suitable for the Irishreintroduction effort• The main objective of conservation measures:• Increasing population sizes by safeguarding of individuals• Habitat managementBourke et al. 2010, Conservation Genetics
