Genetic rescue: A critique of the evidence supports maximizing genetic diversity rather than minimizing the introduction of putatively harmful genetic variation
Genetic rescue–ameliorating inbreeding depression and restoring genetic diversity of inbred
populations through gene flow-is valuable in wildlife conservation. Empirically validated …

Captive-bred Atlantic salmon released into the wild have fewer offspring than wild-bred fish and decrease population productivity
The release of captive-bred animals into the wild is commonly practised to restore or
supplement wild populations but comes with a suite of ecological and genetic …

Comparing Pool‐seq, Rapture, and GBS genoty** for inferring weak population structure: The American lobster (Homarus americanus) as a case study
Unraveling genetic population structure is challenging in species potentially characterized
by large population size and high dispersal rates, often resulting in weak genetic …

The ghosts of propagation past: haplotype information clarifies the relative influence of stocking history and phylogeographic processes on contemporary population …
Stocking of fish is an important tool for maintaining fisheries but can also significantly alter
population genetic structure and erode the portfolio of within‐species diversity that is …

Using multiple sources during reintroduction of a locally extinct population benefits survival and reproduction of an endangered freshwater fish
Through using different sources, population reintroductions can create genetically diverse
populations at low risk of harmful inbreeding and well equipped for adaptation to future …
