Abstract excerpt
Restoring genetic diversity through assisted migration is increasingly recognized as a crucial strategy to counteract inbreeding depression and boost genetic variation in small and fragmented populations yet concerns about outbreeding depression often hinder its application. We propose a genomics-informed update to an existing framework enabling a more precise assessment of outbreeding depression risk and genetic...
