Wildlife translocation: the conservation implications of pathogen exposure and genetic heterozygosity

1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A key challenge for conservation biologists is to determine the most appropriate demographic and genetic management strategies for wildlife populations threatened by disease. We explored this topic by examining whether genetic background and previous pathogen exposure influenced survival of translocated animals when captive-bred and free-ranging bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) were used to...
