The impact of serial translocations on the genetic diversity of Anegada iguanas ( <i>Cyclura pinguis</i> ) in the British Virgin Islands

2026-02-19

Abstract excerpt

Animal translocations are becoming increasingly popular as a tool for conservationists. Demographic factors can be crucial determinants dictating translocation viability in the short term. Translocated populations pass through artificial bottlenecks and can suffer from founder effects. Reduction in genetic variation relative to their source populations is likely, limiting their adaptive potential. Founder events c...
