Conservation translocation is a common strategy to offset mounting rates of population
declines through the transfer of captive‐or wild‐origin organisms into areas where …

Small, isolated populations risk extinction through inbreeding depression, chance loss of
beneficial variation, and reduced adaptability to changing environments. Genetic rescue via …

Mixing gene pools in translocations can create populations with higher genetic diversity and
evolutionary potential compared to single sources. However, the benefits of outcrossing on …

Sex‐specific ecology has management implications, but rapid sex‐chromosome turnover in
fishes hinders sex‐marker development for monomorphic species. We used annotated …

Supportive breeding programmes are becoming increasingly crucial for the conservation of
many declining freshwater fishes such as the European common nase, Chondrostoma …

Widespread extirpation of native fish populations has led to a rise in species reintroduction
efforts worldwide. Most efforts have relied on demographic data alone to guide project …

Molecular tools are increasingly applied for assessing and monitoring biodiversity and
informing conservation action. While recent developments in genetic and genomic methods …

Augmenting depleted genetic diversity can improve the fitness and evolutionary potential of
wildlife populations, but developing effective management approaches requires genetically …

Wildlife reintroduction is an important conservation tool for threatened species, yet
identifying appropriate source populations poses a challenge. In particular, the possibility of …

Small, isolated populations present a challenge for conservation. The dueling effects of
selection and drift in a limited pool of genetic diversity make the responses of small …
