An experimental evaluation with Drosophila melanogaster of a novel dynamic system for the management of subdivided populations in conservation programs.

Abstract excerpt

A dynamic method (DM) recently proposed for the management of captive subdivided populations was evaluated using the pilot species Drosophila melanogaster. By accounting for the particular genetic population structure, the DM determines the optimal mating pairs, their contributions to progeny and the migration pattern that minimize the overall co-ancestry in the population with a control of inbreeding levels....
