Conservation translocations (reintroductions, reinforcements, ecological replacements, and
assisted colonization) have played a vital and necessary role in conserving endangered …

Background Use of genomic tools to characterize wildlife populations has increased in
recent years. In the past, genetic characterization has been accomplished with more …

Dispersal among breeding sites in territorial animals (ie breeding dispersal) is driven by
numerous selection pressures, including competition and spatiotemporal variation in habitat …

Habitat loss and fragmentation can lead to smaller and more isolated populations and
reduce genetic diversity and evolutionary potential. Conservation programs can benefit from …

Conservation translocations are an important conservation tool commonly employed to
augment declining or reestablish extirpated populations. One goal of augmentation is to …

A variety of conservation management strategies have been developed to address rapid,
anthropogenically-driven biodiversity loss. The translocation of individuals from viable …

Habitat fragmentation and degradation impacts an organism's ability to navigate the
landscape, ultimately resulting in decreased gene flow and increased extinction risk …

Genetic monitoring is important in small, fragmented populations that rely on gene flow to
maintain genetic diversity. The Selkirk, Yaak, and Cabinet grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) …

Translocations have been used as a management tool for the federally threatened Gunnison
sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) but have not been rigorously evaluated. We estimated …

Abstract Context The Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus) has experienced
range-wide declines and has been listed as Threatened by the USA Fish and Wildlife …
