Do linear landscape elements in farmland act as biological corridors for pollen dispersal? (2010, background): “Gene flow between populations can counteract the negative effects of habitat fragmentation, a process referred to as ‘genetic rescue’ (Richards 2000; Newman & Tallmon 2001; Couvet 2002).”
Effects of population size on genetic diversity and seed production in the rare Dictamnus albus(Rutaceae) in central Germany (2004, background): “The value of one migrant per generation has frequently been reported as a threshold value (Franklin 1980; Mills and Allendorf 1996; Wang 2004), and Couvet (2002) was even able to prove that one migrant per generation is not enough to maintain viability and to ensure survival of smaller populations.”
Captive breeding genetics and reintroduction success (2009, background): “General metapopulation theory indicates that population subdivision is generally detrimental to fitness (Couvet, 2002), although the equilibrium load due to deleterious mutations can be reduced by population subdivision in the case of very recessive alleles (Whitlock, 2002).”
Landscape attributes and life history variability shape genetic structure of trout populations in a stream network (2006, background): “…that showed the strongest evidence of genetic bottlenecks in this system were those isolated by barri- ers, suggesting a synergistic effect between isolation and small population sizes in influencing genetic variability, and perhaps population resiliency (see Saccheri et al. 1998; Couvet 2002).”
