Maximising evolutionary potential in functional proxies for extinct species: a conservation genetic perspective on de‐extinction
De‐extinction sensu stricto is the resurrection of phenotypic traits once possessed by extinct
species to create extant functional proxies. To realise the ecological benefit of de‐extinction,
self‐sustaining (genetically viable) populations of functional proxies are required. It is often
implied, yet rarely stated, that the genetic challenges associated with the survival and
recovery of extant threatened species in an effort to conserve biodiversity are also relevant
to the use of functional proxies of extinct species as a conversation tool. Here, we highlight …
