Reciprocal translocation of small numbers of inbred individuals rescues immunogenetic diversity.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2017

Grueber Catherine E, Sutton Jolene T, Heber Sol, Briskie James V, Jamieson Ian G, Robertson Bruce C

Abstract excerpt

Genetic rescue can reduce inbreeding depression and increase fitness of small populations, even when the donor populations are highly inbred. In a recent experiment involving two inbred island populations of the New Zealand South Island robin, Petroica australis, reciprocal translocations improved microsatellite diversity and individual fitness. While microsatellite loci may reflect patterns of genome-wide...
