Genetic rescue stabilizes diversity in small isolated populations of Bonneville cutthroat trout.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity loss due to anthropogenic factors is occurring rapidly on a global scale, putting many species at risk of extirpation and extinction. Different management strategies have been developed to slow this loss; however, it is often unknown whether these strategies reach their intended goals. In this study, we evaluate population structure and changes in nucleotide diversity (π) in isolated populations...
