Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Animals is aimed at providing open access availability to the latest advancements in assisted reproductive techniques (ART) for the conservation of wildlife and biodiversity. As global change and human encroachment continue to threaten biodiversity on our planet, advances in technology are increasingly necessary to biobank and expand genetic resources for species threatened with declining habitats and genetic diversity. We are encouraging contributions from investigators in this field to provide both review and original research articles regarding the state of the art in ART as applied to wildlife and species of conservation interest. We aim to create an issue that will provide information on application of these techniques to a broad range of fauna, including mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and invertebrates.
Dr. Barbara Wolfe
