Citations in the corpus

• The advantages and disadvantages of being introduced (2006, background): “Experimental re-introduction of native plants has also supported the role of local adaptation in their fitness (Vergeer et al. 2004).”
• Mix and match: regional admixture provenancing strikes a balance among different seed-sourcing strategies for ecological restoration (2018, unknown): “So far, seed sourcing from seed transfer zones has been perceived as somewhat relaxed local provenancing, but did not require mixing of seeds from multiple origins to increase genetic variability (Vergeer et al. 2004; Williams et al. 2014; McDonald et al. 2016; but see Havens et al. 2015).”
• First evidence of hybridization between endangered sterlets (Acipenser ruthenus) and exotic Siberian sturgeons (Acipenser baerii) in the Danube River (2009, background): “Vergeer et al. (2004) demonstrated that introduction or genetic reinforcement is best achieved through material from the local population or, when unavailable, from several large populations.”
• Conservation genetics in a globally changing environment: present problems, paradoxes and future challenges (2007, background): “Lastly it can also expose the populations to the risk of reduced Wtness due to outbreeding depression (Marr et al. 2002; Vergeer et al. 2004; Sagvik et al. 2005).”
• The rough edges of the conservation genetics paradigm for plants (2006, background): “The topic of local adaptation is starting to draw the attention of applied conservation biologists, who are considering management practices such as introduction or reintroduction and ecological restoration (Hufford & Mazer 2003; Tallmon et al. 2004; Vergeer et al. 2004).”
