Conservation genetics

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
It is a C-class article that I am evaluating and updating for this Wiki Project. It is also a combination of two topics that I am interested in (conservation biology and genetics).

Evaluate the article
Lead Section - The lead is concise and offers a good definition and explanation about what conservation genetics is and the topics that are discussed in the rest of the page.

Content - The article content is relevant to the topic and seems mostly up to date to my knowledge. There is potentially content missing from the applications section as it seems quite small.

Tone and Balance - The tone of the article is very neutral and I found no evidence of attempts at persuasion or arguing sides.

Sources and References - The links to the sources work and seem up to date. Sources are thorough but there does seem to be a couple of sentences that could benefit from being followed up by a source.

Organization - Article is easy to read with no visible spelling errors and seems to flow in a way that makes sense to the reader.

Images - There is one image in the article that briefly introduces genetics that is visually appealing and enhances the article.

Talk Page - This article was a part of another student editors Wiki Project in 2022. Conversations behind the scenes talk about a potential article name change, updating sources, and improving content.

Overall Impression - This articles overall status is C-class. Its strengths is that it is a growing topic/field so it can constantly be improved and updated, this however, can also be a downfall because it needs to be constantly updated to stay current with research and the growing conservation genetics field. The article seems currently underdeveloped, but I do believe that is because it is a more recent field of science.
