Description:We agree with Shafer et al. that there is a need for well-documented case studies of the application of genomics in conservation and management as well as increased communication between academics and natural resource managers. However, we challenge Shafer et al.'s relatively pessimistic assertion that 'conservation genomics is far from seeing regular application'. Here we illustrate by examples that conservation practitioners utilize more genomic research than is often apparent. In addition, we highlight the work of nonacademic laboratories , some of which are not always well represented in peer-reviewed literature. Finally, we suggest that increased agency–academic collaboration would enhance the application of genomics to real-world conservation and help conserve biodiversity.
