Recent studies illustrate the emerging field of restoration genetics, which is a synthesis of
restoration ecology and population genetics. The translocation of organisms during the …

In plant conservation, restoration (the augmentation or reestablishment of an extinct
population or community) is a valuable tool to mitigate the loss of habitat. However …

Proper sourcing of seed for ecological restoration has never been straightforward, and it is
becoming even more challenging and complex as the climate changes. For decades …

We present a conceptual framework for choosing native plant material to be used in
restoration projects on the basis of ecological genetics. We evaluate both the likelihood of …

Ecological restoration aims to assist the recovery of degraded, damaged, or destroyed
ecosystems. Restoration practitioners increasingly recognize the value of using ecologically …

A major goal of population biologists involved in restoration work is to restore populations to
a level that will allow them to persist over the long term within a dynamic landscape and …

How can environmental degradation be stopped? How can it be reversed? And how can the
damage already done be repaired? The authors of this volume argue that a two-pronged …

The genetic background of transplants used to create or augment wild populations may
affect the long‐term success of restored populations. If seed sources are from differently …

With global biodiversity in decline, there is now an urgent requirement to take ameliorative
action for endangered species in the form of re-introductions. For the highly diverse orchid …

Invasive plants reduce the capacity of ecosystems to provide goods and services required
by society, alter ecological processes, and can displace desirable species. They can reduce …
