Cryptic species diversity in a widespread bumble bee complex revealed using mitochondrial DNA RFLPs (2008, background): “Yet even in well-known taxa the presence of morphologically unrecognised (or cryptic) species indicates that there are many more species present than currently estimated (Frankham et al. 2002; Blaxter 2004; Bickford et al. 2007).”
Genetic variation increases during biological invasion by a Cuban lizard (2004, background): “exists in invasion biology: how do introduced populations, whose genetic variation has probably been depleted by population bottlenecks, persist and adapt to new conditions? Lessons from conservation genetics show that reduced genetic variation due to genetic drift and founder effects limits the abi”
Genetic rescue of small inbred populations: meta-analysis reveals large and consistent benefits of gene flow. (2015, methodology): “These are likely to be underestimates of benefits, as most composite fitness values were not for total fitness, and effects are likely to be greater as more of the life cycle is included (Frankham et al. 2010).”
Efficiency of markers and methods for detecting hybrids and introgression in stocked populations (2009, background): “However, these activities mandate development of conservation and management strategies to identify remaining pure native and hybridized populations ( Ferguson et al. 1995 ).”
Founder events predict changes in genetic diversity during human‐mediated range expansions (2011, background): “Nevertheless, our results provide a quantitative estimate of the importance of propagule pressure for genetic diversity in animal introductions that may be of value in applied conservation (Simberloff, 2009; Frankham et al. 2010).”
Sustaining the Ark: the challenges faced by zoos in maintaining viable populations (2009, background): “Wild populations differ significantly from these ideal characteristics and may achieve Ne/N ratios of around 0 1 (Frankham et al., 2002).”
Wildlife DNA forensics—bridging the gap between conservation genetics and law enforcement (2009, background): “Their principal objective is to synthesize this knowledge and develop best practice solutions to specific challenges faced in conservation (Frankham et al. 2002).”
Genetic and demographic population management in zoos and aquariums: recent developments, future challenges and opportunities for scientific research (2011, background): “Fragmentation offers benefits and drawbacks – although genetic adaptation to captivity tends to happen more quickly in larger vs smaller populations (Woodworth et al., 2002), smaller populations experience more genetic drift and accumulate inbreeding faster (Frankham et al., 2010).”
A conceptual framework for the spatial analysis of landscape genetic data (2013, background): “The determination of whether individual genetic data 292 (Y) collected at different locations stem from a panmictic population or from several 293 geographically and genetically distinct populations is an important goal in conservation genetics 294 (Frankham 2009).”
Predicting the Probability of Outbreeding Depression (2011, background): “Inbreeding depression and loss of genetic diversity will ultimately contribute to the extirpation of many small populations (Fenster & Dudash 1994; Moritz 1999; Frankham et al. 2010).”
Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “One possible consequence of population mixing could be a reduction in fitness as a consequence of the disruption of local co-adapted gene complexes and the occurrence of detrimental gene interactions, i.e., outbreeding depression (Frankham et al., 2002).”
Review: genetic diversity of local and exotic cattle and their crossbreeding impact on the quality of Indonesian cattle. (2015, background): “Both can be manipulated, but genetics plays a larger role because it determines the level of reproduction, productivity of meat or milk, carcass percentage, growth rate, feed efficiency, resistance to climate and disease, physical strength as draught animals, etc. (Frankham et al. 2002).”
Ex situ conservation genetics: a review of molecular studies on the genetic consequences of captive breeding programmes for endangered animal species (2011, background): “Management strategies Inbreeding has been widely recognised as a major problem in captive breeding (e.g. Boakes and Wang 2005; Frankham et al. 2010; Leberg and Firmin 2008).”
The gap between the concept and definitions in the Evolutionarily Significant Unit: the need to integrate neutral genetic variation and adaptive variation (2007, background): “Zoos are increasingly becoming involved in ex situ conservation activities (Frankham et al. 2002), in particular the captive breeding of threatened species.”
