“…Given the decreasing cost of high-throughput sequencing (Hayden, 2014) and the increasing amount of genomic resources readily available for non-model species (Galla et al, 2019), producing thousands of SNPs is now possible for many highly threatened species and provides an exciting opportunity for use in conservation breeding programmes (Galla et al, 2016;He, Johansson, & Heath, 2016). Indeed, there are several recent examples of genome-wide SNPs being used for relatedness in conservation, ecology, and evolution (e.g., De Fraga, Lima, Magnusson, Ferrão, & Stow, 2017;Escoda, González-Esteban, Gómez, & Castresana, 2017), with some studies indicating that genome-wide SNPs provide greater accuracy in estimating relatedness and inbreeding compared to robust pedigrees Santure et al, 2010;Wang, 2016) or microsatellites (Attard, Beheregaray, & Möller, 2018;Bérénos, Ellis, Pilkington, & Pemberton, 2014;Hellmann et al, 2016;Keller, Visscher, & Goddard, 2011;Lemopoulos et al, 2019;Li, Strandén, Tiirikka, Sevón-Aimonen, & Kantanen, 2011).…”
