Abstract

There is real interest in conservation genomics of fragmented amphibian populations right now, and real uncertainty about
exactly where it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for conservation genomics of fragmented
amphibian populations, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has
genuinely settled and where researchers and reviewers are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific
adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance
