Genetic rescue in a severely inbred wolf population.

Molecular ecology - 1 Oct 2016

Åkesson Mikael, Liberg Olof, Sand Håkan, Wabakken Petter, Bensch Staffan, Flagstad Øystein

Abstract excerpt

Natural populations are becoming increasingly fragmented which is expected to affect their viability due to inbreeding depression, reduced genetic diversity and increased sensitivity to demographic and environmental stochasticity. In small and highly inbred populations, the introduction of only a few immigrants may increase vital rates significantly. However, very few studies have quantified the long-term success...
