Course - Applied conservation genetics for practice

Course

Examples of species studied in terms of conservation genetics: grayling, duck mussel, alpine sea holly, dice snake, European tree frog, false heath fritillary and hare's tail cottongrass (photos by Jakob Brodersen, Julie Conrads, Beat Bäumler, Felix Gugerli, Martin C. Fischer).

This course enables participants to expand or update their knowledge of the fundamentals of applied conservation genetics. The aim is to fill gaps in knowledge, assess potential and limitations, avoid misunderstandings and lay the foundation for future Swiss conservation genetics projects.

The course is divided into three parts: short introductory lectures, case studies and practical examples in small, interactive groups.

The lectures will be held in German and French by researchers from Eawag, ETH, Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de Genève and WSL.

Organised by: CORINE BUSER, ALEXANDRA ANH-THU WEBER, PHILINE FEULNER, SARAH RICHMAN, MARTIN C. FISCHER, CHRISTINE GROSSEN, YAMAMA NACIRI, REA PÄRLI, OLIVER REUTIMANN, JASMINE TSCHAN, ALEX WIDMER, FELIX GUGERLI
