Restoring faith in conservation action: Maintaining wild genetic diversity through the Tasmanian devil insurance program
Conservation breeding programs aim to maintain 90% wild genetic diversity, but rarely
assess functional diversity. Here, we compare both genome-wide and functional diversity (in …

Complex problems need detailed solutions: harnessing multiple data types to inform genetic management in the wild
For bottlenecked populations of threatened species, supplementation often leads to
improved population metrics (genetic rescue), provided that guidelines can be followed to …
