The evolutionary dynamics of local adaptations under genetic rescue is determined by mutational load and polygenicity.

The Journal of heredity - 10 Jul 2024

Zhang Yulin, Stern Aaron J, Nielsen Rasmus

Abstract excerpt

Inbred populations often suffer from increased mutational load and reduced fitness due to lower efficacy of purifying selection in groups with small effective population sizes. Genetic rescue (GR) is a conservation tool that is studied and deployed with the aim of increasing the fitness of such inbred populations by assisted migration of individuals from closely related outbred populations. The success of GR...
