Implications of methodologies for integrating empirical kinships into ex situ population management using PMx: A case study of Baer's Pochard (Aythya baeri) in North America.

Abstract excerpt

The application of molecular tools to population management can improve the long-term genetic viability of ex situ populations. In this study, we aimed to understand the implications of integrating empirical kinships into the genetic management of an ex situ population of the endangered waterfowl, Baer's pochard (Aythya baeri), in North America. Single nucleotide polymorphism data were generated for 141 Baer's...
