Abstract excerpt

An aim of many captive breeding programs is to increase population sizes for reintroduction and establishment of self-sustaining wild populations. Genetic analyses play a critical role in these programs: monitoring genetic variation, identifying the origin of individuals, and assigning parentage to track family sizes. Here, we use genetic pedigree analyses to examine 3 seasons of a pilot breeding program for the...
