• Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments: a genetic perspective (2011, background): “Most of these have been described in some form elsewhere (Hedrick 1995; Broadhurst et al. 2008; Hedrick and Fredrickson 2010), although we introduce some new concepts (e.g. genetic capture).”
• Hybridization and the species problem in conservation (2015, background): “In fact, hybridization can be used as a tool to enhance genetic variation and reduce extinction risk, though such attempts at genetic rescue usually try to encourage interbreeding between groups that are classified as the same species (Hedrick and Fredrickson, 2010).”
• Genetic rescue of small inbred populations: meta-analysis reveals large and consistent benefits of gene flow. (2015, background): “Hedrick & Fredrickson (2010) and Edmands (2007) previously provided guidelines, but mine are less stringent for reasons detailed in Appendix S8 (Supporting information).”
• Genetics and extinction and the example of Isle Royale wolves (2019, background): “Hedrick & Fredrickson (2010) provided guidelines about when genetic rescue might be beneficial.”
• Adaptive introgression in animals: examples and comparison to new mutation and standing variation as sources of adaptive variation (2013, background): “For clarification, genetic rescue, which results in an increase in fitness due to a decrease in frequency of detrimental alleles (Tallmon et al. 2004; Hedrick & Fredrickson 2010), is a somewhat different phenomenon than adaptive introgression.”
• Adapting to climate change: a perspective from evolutionary physiology (2010, background): “…assisted translocation of entire species may be difficult, translocation of genotypes adapted to different conditions is likely to be much more feasible and might provide an insurance policy against future change (Broadhurst et al. 2008, Hedrick & Fredrickson 2010, but see Bijlsma et al. 2010).”
• Conservation genetics of population bottlenecks: the role of chance, selection, and history (2010, background): “This can occur through inbreeding depression or increases in the genetic load of populations (Ralls et al. 1979; Kirkpatrick and Jarne 2000; Fox et al. 2008; Charlesworth and Willis 2009; Hedrick and Fredrickson 2010).”
• A framework for incorporating evolutionary genomics into biodiversity conservation and management (2015, background): “fallen to such low numbers <1,000 [199,234] that the”
