title = "DNA in the conservation and management of African antelope",
abstract = "This chapter addresses species conservation using population genetics, including delimiting species and subspecies, revealing cryptic diversity, and assessing hybridization between distinct populations. The molecular information from these studies is publicly available and can be found in online databases, and represents a valuable reference database of antelope DNA diversity. For the evolution of antelope, sub-Saharan Africa is a region of particular intrigue. The geographic regions of sub-Saharan Africa represent unique evolutionary scenarios. Molecular data have become an increasingly important tool in informed species conservation and sustainable wildlife management. The movement of antelope through translocations, reintroductions, and population augmentations is common practice in wildlife management. DNA-led species identification using genetic barcoding is an effective use of genetic data within forensics. DNA barcoding is a taxonomic method that uses a short genetic marker in an organism's DNA to identify it as belonging to a particular species.",
