Systematics and endangered species conservation

As promised, the notes for tomorow's lecture on systematics are now posted. We'll start by finishing up a few things we didn't discuss concerning genetic threats to persistence in small populations. Please come armed with questions about anything you don't understand. I'd like to have a good discussion about genetics before we move on.

I realize that it's short notice, but if you have a chance to glance at the papers associated with tomorrow's class before lecture, that would be great. They illustrate some important issues, and I'm confident that there will be some disagreement among you which approach is the best one to take. I'd like to spend some time in lecture exploring those differences.
