Boost or Bust? The impact of supplementation on functional genetic diversity and selective processes in Tasmanian devils

2025-08-03

Abstract excerpt

Translocating individuals into existing populations of conspecifics can support threatened species by increasing population size, maintaining genetic diversity, and reducing the risk of inbreeding. However, for species whose adaptive potential is compromised due to ongoing threats, like disease, the outcome of such management interventions becomes more complex. The Tasmanian devil ( Sarcophilus harrisii ) is a pr...
