Genetic rescue attempt in a small, inbred population of a wild endangered passerine

2024-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Translocations can facilitate gene flow between fragmented populations, introducing new genetic variants that may mask deleterious alleles and relieve inbreeding depression (i.e., ‘genetic rescue’). Genetic rescue attempts in threatened populations are underutilised due to uncertainties surrounding outbreeding depression, appropriateness of source and recipient populations, and the duration of beneficial effects....
