Value of captive populations for quantitative genetics research.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 May 2009

Pelletier Fanie, Réale Denis, Watters Jason, Boakes Elizabeth H, Garant Dany

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary biologists have usefully applied quantitative genetics methods to the pedigrees of wild animals to understand how natural selection shapes phenotypic diversity in nature. Despite recent reviews on the importance of rapid evolutionary changes for conservation biology and the increasing concerns about potentially adverse effects of adaptation to captivity for wild species, the integration of...
