Evaluating the importance of translocations in rescuing the genetic diversity of the endemic Saimaa ringed seal

2022-03-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Fragmentation of isolated populations increases the risk of inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity. The endemic Saimaa ringed seal (<italic>Pusa hispida saimensis</italic>) is one of the most endangered pinnipeds in the world with a population of only ~400 individuals. The current genetic diversity of this subspecies, isolated in Lake Saimaa in Finland for ca. 1,000 generations, is al...
