The recent extensive loss of biodiversity raises the question of whether organisms will adapt in time to survive the current era of rapid environmental change, and whether today's …
Thousands of small populations are at increased risk of extinction because genetics and evolutionary biology are not well‐integrated into conservation planning–a major lost …
The habitats of most species have been fragmented by human actions, isolating small populations that consequently develop genetic problems. Millions of small, isolated …
Background As increasingly fragmented and isolated populations of threatened species become subjected to climate change, invasive species and other stressors, there is an …
Reintroduction programs aim to restore self-sustaining populations of threatened species to their historic range. However, demographic restoration may not reflect genetic restoration …
Genetic diversity is positively linked to the viability and evolutionary potential of species but is often compromised in threatened taxa. Genetic rescue by gene flow from a more diverse …
Adaptive differences across species' ranges can have important implications for population persistence and conservation management decisions. Despite advances in genomic …
Through using different sources, population reintroductions can create genetically diverse populations at low risk of harmful inbreeding and well equipped for adaptation to future …
Context In highly fragmented landscapes, arboreal mammals are limited by their ability to move and disperse between core habitats. Connectivity modelling for multiple species …
