Assisted migration within species range ignores biotic interactions and lacks evidence (2017, methodology): “Basic and Applied Ecology 15:1–9 Vander Mijnsbrugge K, Bischoff A, Smith B (2010) A question of origin: where and how to collect seed for ecological restoration.”
Ecological theory provides strong support for habitat restoration (2017, background): “When there are no seed-sources nearby, species transfer is required, preferably from natural populations in the same region (Mijnsbrugge et al., 2010; Aavik et al., 2013).”
Set-aside management: How do succession, sowing patterns and landscape context affect biodiversity? (2011, background): “Commercially available clover–grass mixtures differ from plants originating from wild seeds sampled in the region of the intended sowing, which is known to affect establishment and restoration success (Vander Mijnsbrugge et al., 2010).”
Urban Grassland Restoration: A Neglected Opportunity for Biodiversity Conservation (2013, background): “To conserve local species and gene pools, it is crucial to use seeds and plant material of regional provenance (Vander Mijnsbrugge et al. 2010; Mitchley et al. 2012).”
