Captive breeding genetics and reintroduction success (2009, background): “I considered some relaxation of selection, assuming however that the effect of severe disorders (i.e., homozygous lethal mutations) could not be removed by any manipulation in the captive environment (see Ralls et al., 2000).”
Status of the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) and Efforts to Achieve Its Recovery (2010, background): “At the program level, genetic and demographic considerations drive decisions about how many and which birds are available for release (Ralls et al. 2000, Ralls and Ballou 2004).”
