Losing the forest for the tree? On the wisdom of subpopulation management.

Zoo biology - 1 Jan 2000

Powell David M

Abstract excerpt

Animal habitats are changing around the world in many ways, presenting challenges to the survival of species. Zoo animal populations are also challenged by small population sizes and limited genetic diversity. Some ex situ populations are managed as subpopulations based on presumed subspecies or geographic locality and related concerns over genetic purity or taxonomic integrity. However, these decisions can...
