Genetic rescue is a measure to mitigate the effects of reduced genetic variation in
endangered small, isolated (inbreed) populations by introducing new genetic variation into …

Isolation of small populations is expected to reduce fitness through inbreeding and loss of
genetic variation, impeding population growth and compromising population persistence …

Human-driven habitat fragmentation and loss have led to a proliferation of small and
isolated plant and animal populations with high risk of extinction. One of the main threats to …

Background As increasingly fragmented and isolated populations of threatened species
become subjected to climate change, invasive species and other stressors, there is an …

As a result of processes such as habitat loss and overharvest, many species persist in small,
isolated populations that experience reduced fitness, decreased evolutionary potential, and …

Species that inhabit naturally fragmented environments are expected to be spatially
structured and exhibit reduced genetic diversity at the periphery of their range. Patterns of …

The coordinated stasis model has far-reaching implications. Among them are three
important predictions concerning diversity dynamics that I test here against the Cenozoic …

Natural populations worldwide are increasingly fragmented by habitat loss. Isolation at small
population size is thought to reduce individual and population fitness via inbreeding …

From a conservation management perspective it is important to understand how genetic
diversity is partitioned across a species' range, including 1) identification of evolutionarily …

Aim Conservation biologists use various approaches to augment imperilled populations in
order to supplement genetic variation and restore ecological function. However …
