The genetics of assisted gene flow: immediate costs and long-term benefits

2021-04-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Plant and animal populations are facing several novel risks such as human-mediated habitat fragmentation and climate change that threaten their long-term productivity and persistence. With the genetic health of many populations deteriorating due to climate change outpacing physiological adaptation, human interventions in the form of assisted gene flow (AGF) may provide genetic variation to adapt...
