- Population genetics: diversity within versus among populations
- Genetic drift: establishing population management targets to limit loss of genetic diversity
- Pedigree management: controlling the effects of inbreeding as indicated by fluctuating asymmetry
- Landscape genetics: identifying movement corridors
- Life table analysis: balancing commercial fisheries with sea bird "by-catch"
- Population viability analysis: El Nino frequency and penguin population persistence

- Global change: will a cold-adapted frog survive in a warmer world?
- Climate envelope modeling: inferring the ranges of species to facilitate biological exploration, conservation planning and threat analysis
- Population, consumption, or governance: which drives species imperilment most in Africa and Europe?
- Overconsumption: who's smarter ... students or their professors?
- Conservation values: assessing public attitudes
- Priority setting: where around the globe should we invest our conservation efforts?
