A test of the 'genetic rescue' technique using bottlenecked donor populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Heber Sol, Briskie James V, Apiolaza Luis A

Abstract excerpt

We produced replicated experimental lines of inbred fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster to test the effects of crossing different bottlenecked populations as a method of 'genetic rescue' for endangered species lacking outbred donor populations. Two strains differing in the origin of the founders...
