Assisted gene flow (AGF) can restore fitness in small plant populations. Due to climate
change, current fitness patterns could vary in the future ecological scenario, as highly …

Assisted gene flow (AGF) between populations has the potential to mitigate maladaptation
due to climate change. However, AGF may cause outbreeding depression (especially if …

Plant and animal populations are facing several novel risks such as human-mediated
habitat fragmentation and climate change that threaten their long-term productivity and …

The persistence of narrowly adapted species under climate change will depend on their
ability to migrate apace with their historical climatic envelope or to adapt in place to maintain …

With the genetic health of many plant and animal populations deteriorating due to climate
change outpacing adaptation, interventions, such as assisted gene flow (AGF), may provide …

Gene flow can have rapid effects on adaptation and is an important evolutionary tool
available when undertaking biological conservation and restoration. This tool is underused …

Many species cannot either migrate or adapt at the rate of temperature increases due to
climate warming. Therefore, they need active conservation strategies to avoid extinction …

Crosses between plants from different populations may result in heterosis or outbreeding
depression. However, despite its importance for conservation, little is known about the …

Divergent selection pressures imposed by contrasting environmental conditions at opposite
ends of environmental gradients can drive the evolution of populations that are adapted to …

In spite of the increasing number of studies on the importance of transgenerational plasticity
for species response to novel environments, its effects on species ability to respond to …
