Genomic consequences of genetic rescue in an insular population of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis).

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2012

Miller J M, Poissant J, Hogg J T, Coltman D W

Abstract excerpt

Genetic rescue is a management intervention whereby a small population is supplemented with individuals from other populations in an attempt to reverse the effects of inbreeding and increased genetic load. One such rescue was recently documented in the population of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) within the National Bison Range wildlife refuge (Montana, USA). Here, we examine the locus-specific effects of rescue...
