Plant species richness and composition of heathland relics in north‐western Belgium: evidence for a rescue‐effect? (2004, background): “Interpopulation movement of pollen can on the other hand also be an important component in maintaining or restoring genetic diversity in plant populations, and hence in increasing viability and long-term survival of the populations (Richards, 2000; Newman & Tallmon, 2001).”
Integrating demographic and genetic approaches in plant conservation (2003, background): “It has recently been established that gene flow has significant effects on population fitness (Newman and Tallmon, 2001).”
Beyond the beneficial effects of translocations as an effective tool for the genetic restoration of isolated populations (2009, background): “…and experimental studies have evaluated the importance of population size and migration in maintaining fitness and adaptive genetic variation (e.g., Newman and Tallmon 2001; Swindell and Bouzat 2005, 2006), to our knowledge, no study has documented in nature the direct role of translocations in…”
Do linear landscape elements in farmland act as biological corridors for pollen dispersal? (2010, background): “Gene flow between populations can counteract the negative effects of habitat fragmentation, a process referred to as ‘genetic rescue’ (Richards 2000; Newman & Tallmon 2001; Couvet 2002).”
Extinction risk in fragmented habitats (2004, background): “…extinction in laboratory experiments (Forney & Gilpin, 1989; Spielman & Frankham, 1992; Backus et al., 1995; Bryant et al., 1999; Richards, 2000; Newman & Tallmon, 2001) and in natural populations (Westemeier et al., 1998; Madsen et al., 1999; Fenster & Galloway, 2000; Comiskey et al., 2002;…”
Genetic rescue guidelines with examples from Mexican wolves and Florida panthers (2009, background): “More specifically, genetic rescue has been examined theoretically (Wang et al. 1999; Whitlock et al. 2000) and experimentally (Newman and Tallmon 2001; Saccheri and Brakefield 2002; Swindell and Bouzat 2005, 2006), has occurred naturally in a few situations (Vilà et al. 2003), and has been the…”
Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “Pollination provides genetic mixing, which enhances genetic diversity and thus safeguards the adaptability and resilience of plants to natural or human constraints (Newman and Tallmon 2001).”
Quasi in situ: a bridge between ex situ and in situ conservation of plants (2010, background): “A large body of this theoretical and empirical work was devoted to particular questions about optimal conservation, such as the importance of inbreeding depression (Hedrick and Kalinowski 2000; Keller and Waller 2002), population size (Barrett and Kohn 1991; Ellstrand and Elam 1993; Schemske et al. ”
