The use and importance of reintroduction as a conservation tool to return a species to its
historical range from which it has been extirpated will increase as climate change and …

Only a quarter of reintroduction programs succeed in restoring a self‐sustaining population
of an extirpated species. Optimal source population selection for restoration efforts can …

Restoration programs in the form of ex‐situ breeding combined with reintroductions are
becoming critical to counteract demographic declines and species losses. Such programs …

Conservation translocations (including 'reintroductions' and 'introductions', see Seddon et
al., this volume, Chapter 1) are an important tool for recovering endangered species, and …

Genomics promises exciting advances towards the important conservation goal of
maximizing evolutionary potential, notwithstanding associated challenges. Here, we explore …

Biodiversity loss has reached critical levels partly due to anthropogenic habitat loss and
degradation. These landscape changes are damaging as they can fragment species …

Extirpated organisms are reintroduced into their former ranges worldwide to combat species
declines and biodiversity losses. The growing field of reintroduction biology provides …

Whole‐genome sequencing is revolutionizing our understanding of organismal biology,
including adaptations likely to influence demographic performance in different …

Abstract “Conservation genomics” encompasses the idea that genome-scale data will
improve the capacity of resource managers to protect species. Although genetic approaches …

Although the application of population and evolutionary genetic theory and methods to
address issues of conservation relevance has a long history, the formalization of …
