The State of the World’s Forest Genetic Resources – Thematic study
2020Also available in:
No results found.This study, prepared within the ambit of The State of the World’s Forest Genetic Resources, reviews issues related to the development of indicators for tree genetic diversity. It includes a historical account of the development of science-based indicators for tree genetic diversity that embrace ecological surrogates for genetic diversity, the genealogical approach, genetic monitoring of management units, the use of molecular markers, as well as relevant experience from other organisms and policy processes. It also includes a section on relevant data, data sources, and databases. Finally, the study proposes a set of four operational indicators for monitoring tree genetic diversity. The proposed indicators could support efforts towards sustainable forest management, as well as the development of indicators for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. -
DocumentIncorporating genetic diversity and indicators into statistics and monitoring of farmed aquatic species and their wild relatives 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, realizing that substantial production from aquaculture and capture fisheries is based on groups below the level of the species and that genetic information has a variety of uses in fishery management, requested FAO to undertake a thematic study to explore incorporating genetic diversity and indicators into statistics and monitoring of farmed aquatic species and their wild relatives. Information about aquatic genetic resources can be extremely useful to resource managers, policy-makers, private industry and the general public. Not only is genetic diversity the basic building block for selective breeding programmes in aquaculture and for natural populations to adapt to changing environments and evolve, but information on genetic diversity can also be used, inter alia, to help meet production and consumer demands, to prevent and diagnose disease, to trace fish and fish products in the production chain, to monitor impacts of alien species on native species, to differentiate cryptic species, to manage broodstock, and to design more effective conservation and species recovery programmes. However, the majority of resource managers and those government officials submitting information to FAO do not use or have sufficient access to information on aquatic genetic diversity of farmed species and their wild relatives. -
