A short description of the site: This Genetic Monitoring for Managers website has been developed as part of the Genetic Monitoring (GeM) Working Group, co-led by Drs. Fred Allendorf and Michael Schwartz. The website is being hosted here in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Conservation Genetics Laboratory, Alaska Region, and the Conservation Genetics Community of Practice (*http://www.fws.gov/ConservationGeneticsCOP/ * <http://www.fws.gov/ConservationGeneticsCOP/>). This site provides a broad and dynamic resource for both managers and researchers who are interested in using molecular genetic methods to address their informational needs. This site has been developed in cooperation with experts in a range of genetic fields, including demographic parameter estimation, invasive species detection and monitoring, range estimation, evolutionary biology, sample preservation, and assessing genetic population structure and connectivity. The GeM for Managers website provides, with minimal jargon, information on current technologies including genetic markers and analytical tools, recent examples of genetic research for a wide range of applications, a comprehensive glossary, an extensive literature list, and other resources. Unlike the published literature, the GeM for Managers website can be easily updated with information such as new methods and ongoing research, plus it allows the user to immediately access related online resources. This work was conducted as part of the GeM Working Group, jointly supported by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NCEAS) and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NESCent). The site is now available through the "Genetic Monitoring for Managers" link on the primary navigation bar along the left side of this page: * http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/genetics/*<http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/genetics/>, or via the URL above. Questions or comments about this website can be sent to Jeff Stetz (* [email protected]*** <[email protected]>).
