Genetic rescue of an insular population of large mammals.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jun 2006

Hogg John T, Forbes Stephen H, Steele Brian M, Luikart Gordon

Abstract excerpt

Natural populations worldwide are increasingly fragmented by habitat loss. Isolation at small population size is thought to reduce individual and population fitness via inbreeding depression. However, little is known about the time-scale over which adverse genetic effects may develop in natural populations or the number and types of traits likely to be affected. The benefits of restoring gene flow to isolates are...
