Genetic load: genomic estimates and applications in non-model animals
Genetic variation, which is generated by mutation, recombination and gene flow, can reduce
the mean fitness of a population, both now and in the future. This 'genetic load'has been …

Deleterious variation in natural populations and implications for conservation genetics
Deleterious mutations decrease reproductive fitness and are ubiquitous in genomes. Given
that many organisms face ongoing threats of extinction, there is interest in elucidating the …

Genetic rescue: A critique of the evidence supports maximizing genetic diversity rather than minimizing the introduction of putatively harmful genetic variation
Genetic rescue–ameliorating inbreeding depression and restoring genetic diversity of inbred
populations through gene flow-is valuable in wildlife conservation. Empirically validated …
