The genetic rescue of two bottlenecked South Island robin populations using translocations of inbred donors.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Feb 2013

Heber S, Varsani A, Kuhn S, Girg A, Kempenaers B, Briskie J

Abstract excerpt

Populations forced through bottlenecks typically lose genetic variation and exhibit inbreeding depression. 'Genetic rescue' techniques that introduce individuals from outbred populations can be highly effective in reversing the deleterious effects of inbreeding, but have limited application for the majority of endangered species, which survive only in a few bottlenecked populations. We tested the effectiveness of...
