An integrated comparison of captive-bred and wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): Implications for supportive breeding programs (2008, background): “…phenotypic and genotypic differences between captivebred and wild animals is limited by releasing first-generation captive animals at an early stage of development, thus limiting exposure to the selective pressures imposed by captivity (Salonen and Peuhkuri, 2006; Kraaijeveld-Smit et al., 2006).”
Minimizing genetic adaptation in captive breeding programs: A review (2009, background): “…midwife toad and large white butterfly all demonstrate greater changes in physical or behavioral traits or fecundity as a result of more generations in captivity than those that have been in captivity for fewer generations (Lewis and Thomas, 2001; McPhee, 2003; Kraaijeveld-Smit et al., 2006).”
