Producing native plant materials for restoration: 10 rules to collect and maintain genetic diversity (2015, unknown): “…30 entirely unrelated plants will capture around 95% of all but the rarest forms of diversity in the population, while collecting 45 individuals will increase that percentage to 99% (Figure 4) (Lawrence and others 1995; Crossa and Vencovsky 2011; Hale and others 2012; Hoban and Schlarbaum 2014).”
Banking on the future: progress, challenges and opportunities for the genetic conservation of forest trees (2017, background): “Uniform ex situ sampling guidelines, however, do not apply equally well to all species, and spatial sampling strategies and sample sizes produce different outcomes when species differ in population size, genetic connectivity, or mode of pollination (Hoban and Schlarbaum 2014).”
