Ex situ conservation genetics: a review of molecular studies on the genetic consequences of captive breeding programmes for endangered animal species (2011, background): “Significant adaptation to captive conditions can occur within some tens of generations ( Gilligan and Frankham 2003 ).”
Multiple introductions determine the genetic structure of an invasive species population: American mink Neovison vison in Poland (2010, background): “On the other hand, as a result of domestication, ranch mink should be less well adapted to natural conditions than native individuals (Price, 1984; Gilligan and Frankham, 2003; Frankham, 2008; Wisely et al., 2008).”
Wildlife conservation and animal temperament: causes and consequences of evolutionary change for captive, reintroduced, and wild populations (2006, background): “This shift can result both from the novel conditions seen in captivity and from husbandry practices that would favour particular geno/phenotypes (Arnold, 1995; Carlstead, 1996; Gilligan & Frankham, 2003).”
