Preserving population allele frequencies in ex situ conservation programs.

Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology - 1 Oct 2008

Saura María, Pérez-Figueroa Andrés, Fernández Jesús, Toro Miguel A, Caballero Armando

Abstract excerpt

Optimization of contributions of parents to progeny by minimizing the average coancestry of the progeny is an effective strategy for maintaining genetic diversity in ex situ conservation programs, but its application on the basis of molecular markers has the negative collateral effect of homogenizing the allelic frequencies at each locus. Because one of the objectives of a conservation program is to preserve the...
