The authors thank the following people for providing comments, feedback, and case studies: Margaret Byrne, Todd Cross, Taylor Wilcox, Robb Leary, Sally Aitken, Jon Ballou, Bob Lacy, Eric Peatman, Luciano Beheregaray, Katherine Ralls, Brett Addis, and Kathy Belov. They thank James and Lisa Seeb for extensive contributions to earlier versions of the manuscript. They also thank Fred Allendorf for help in developing the initial idea of a narrow-sense definition and subsequent advice on defining it (e.g., in Table S1). They especially thank Aaron Shafer, Michael Bruford, and Michael Schwartz for encouraging publication and improving earlier versions of the manuscript with a shared vision of enhancing the contribution of genomics in conservation. G.L. and B.K.H. were partially supported by grants from the NSF ( DEB 1258203 ), NASA ( NNX14AB84G ), and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks .
