Conservation Genetics

Conservation Genetics is a Springer title that first appeared in 2000 and promotes the conservation of genetic diversity by providing a forum for data and ideas from population genetics, molecular ecology, evolutionary biology and systematics. Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 2.4 places it in the second quartile of Biodiversity Conservation.《保护遗传学》是 Springer 出版的一份期刊，2000 年创刊，以推动遗传多样性保护为宗旨，为群体遗传学与分子生态学提供数据与观点的交流园地，也容纳进化生物学与分类学的稿件。2025 年期刊影响因子为 2.4，在生物多样性保护类期刊中位列第二四分位。

Scope

• The editors describe the journal as a forum for data and ideas that serves the conservation of biodiversity, and they draw contributions from population genetics, molecular ecology, molecular biology, evolutionary biology and systematics.编辑部把刊物定位为数据与观点的论坛，服务于生物多样性保护，来稿出自群体遗传学、分子生态学与分子生物学，也出自进化生物学与系统分类学。

• Taxonomic identification of species and populations, and their placement within a phylogeny, sit inside the remit.物种与种群的分类鉴定以及它们在系统发育中的位置，都落在收稿范围之内。

• Authors also quantify phylogenetic diversity and distinctiveness, the two measures most often used when conservation priorities have to be ranked.作者也度量系统发育多样性与独特性，排定保护优先次序时最常用的正是这两项指标。

• Hybrid identification is a standing theme, together with the history of hybridisation and the introgression that can follow it.杂交种鉴定是常设主题，杂交的历史以及随之可能发生的渐渗同样在列。

• Genetic structure in natural and managed populations is studied at several scales, and the delineation of evolutionarily significant units and management units belongs to the same body of work.自然种群与管理种群的遗传结构在多个尺度上得到研究，进化显著单元与管理单元的划定属于同一类工作。

• Work that ties genetic structure to GIS layers and to ecology at large spatial scales is taken as well.把遗传结构与 GIS 图层、大尺度生态学联系起来的工作同样接收。

• Variation in small or endangered populations is assessed alongside the population dynamics that follow human influence.小型种群与濒危种群的变异受到评估，人为影响下的种群动态一并纳入视野。

• Effective population size is estimated routinely, and coalescent models are among the tools brought to that problem.有效种群大小是常规的估计对象，溯祖模型是处理这一问题的工具之一。

• Inbreeding and outbreeding depression are examined, as is the relation between heterozygosity and fitness.近交衰退与远交衰退受到考察，杂合度与适合度之间的关系同样在讨论之列。

• Mating systems and reproductive strategies come under review where human disturbance has changed the behaviour they rest on.择偶体制与繁殖策略也在审视之列，人类干扰改变了其行为基础的情形尤其受重视。

• Forensic applications aimed at controlling trade in endangered species form a distinct strand of the journal's content.为管制濒危物种贸易而做的法医学应用，构成刊物一块独立的稿件来源。

• Methods for holding genetic diversity as high as possible in captive breeding and reintroduction are covered, with mathematical models set beside practical cases.圈养繁育与再引入中尽量保持遗传多样性的方法均有覆盖，数学模型与实践案例并列呈现。

• Transgenic plants and animals raise conservation questions that the journal treats as part of its business.转基因植物与动物引出的保护议题，被刊物视为份内之事。

• Contaminants are considered where they act directly on organismal health or biology, from mutation rates to local adaptation such as industrial melanism and shifts in MHC haplotype frequencies.污染物与生物健康或生物学的直接互作也在讨论范围，议题从突变率延伸到工业黑化一类局域适应，以及 MHC 单倍型频率的变化。

• Four manuscript types are taken, namely original research, short communications, review papers and perspectives.刊物接收四类稿件，包括原创研究、短通讯，以及综述与观点文章。

• A separate journal, Conservation Genetics Resources, was created to publish methodological innovations, computer programs and genomic resources quickly, so technical notes of that kind are no longer accepted here.技术札记另归一份独立刊物 Conservation Genetics Resources，该刊专事快速发表方法学创新、计算机程序与基因组资源，本刊因此不再接收这类稿件。
