Genetic rescue to the rescue.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Jan 2015

Whiteley Andrew R, Fitzpatrick Sarah W, Funk W Chris, Tallmon David A

Abstract excerpt

Genetic rescue can increase the fitness of small, imperiled populations via immigration. A suite of studies from the past decade highlights the value of genetic rescue in increasing population fitness. Nonetheless, genetic rescue has not been widely applied to conserve many of the threatened populations that it could benefit. In this review, we highlight recent studies of genetic rescue and place it in the larger...
