Multiple introductions determine the genetic structure of an invasive species population: American mink Neovison vison in Poland (2010, background): “On the other hand, as a result of domestication, ranch mink should be less well adapted to natural conditions than native individuals (Price, 1984; Gilligan and Frankham, 2003; Frankham, 2008; Wisely et al., 2008).”
Minimizing genetic adaptation in captive breeding programs: A review (2009, methodology): “…(2008) recommends reducing the number of generations spent in captivity (reducing t), minimizing selection (reducing Sh2), reducing effective population size and genetic diversity by fragmenting and isolating populations, and adding new founder individuals from wild populations (Frankham, 2008).”
Genetics in conservation management: Revised recommendations for the 50/500 rules, Red List criteria and population viability analyses (2014, background): “…environment can contribute to adaptation because they are often beneficial in others: genotype environment interactions (Frankham et al., 2010), including home-site advantage (Hereford, 2009) and adverse fitness effects experience by captive-adapted populations in wild habitats (Frankham, 2008).”
Ex situ conservation genetics: a review of molecular studies on the genetic consequences of captive breeding programmes for endangered animal species (2011, background): “Captive breeding programmes should aim at the creation and conservation of healthy, self-sustaining captive populations that resemble their wild counterparts as closely as possible both in behaviour and genetics (Frankham 2008; Robert 2009; Goncalves da Silva et al. 2010; Ralls and Ballou 1986).”
Building evolutionary resilience for conserving biodiversity under climate change (2010, background): “In addition, there is also adaptation to conditions of captivity resulting in reduced fitness of populations for eventual release into the wild (Frankham 2008).”
Captive breeding genetics and reintroduction success (2009, background): “…effects of subdivisions are multiple and complex, and the current recommendation that several captive populations should be managed as one single random mating population (via regular translocations among institutions) is not based on strong theoretical arguments (see discussion in Frankham, 2008).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Environmental Change and Management Actions for Migrating Fish (2019, background): “…biodiversity, such as removal of migration barriers, installation of fishways, compensatory breeding, supplementary stocking, and translocations (Gjedrem et al., 1991; Berg et al., 1997; Søndergaard et al., 2000; McClelland and Naish, 2007; Seddon et al., 2007; Frankham, 2008; Service USFW, 2012).”
Predicting the Probability of Outbreeding Depression (2011, background): “…t generations in a population due to pre-existing quantitative genetic variation can be predicted by using an extension of the breeders’ equation (Frankham 2008; Supporting Information): t∑ i=1, ADi∼h2 t∑ i=1, Si(1 − 1/[2Ne])t−1, (1) where h2 is heritability of reproductive fitness, Si is the…”
Genetic and demographic population management in zoos and aquariums: recent developments, future challenges and opportunities for scientific research (2011, background): “Genetic adaptation to captivity has been documented across a broad range of taxa, including mammals, fish and insects, and is a serious concern for long-term ex situ management programmes for which the potential or future goal is reintroduction (Frankham, 2008).”
An integrated comparison of captive-bred and wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): Implications for supportive breeding programs (2008, background): “…parameters linked to genetic diversity (e.g. heterozygosity and allelic richness) are important for populations to face environmental changes (Frankham, 2008), and traits such as body size and competitive ability determine an individual’s ability to exploit and survive in natural habitats…”
Ocean's eleven: a critical evaluation of the role of population, evolutionary and molecular genetics in the management of wild fisheries (2015, background): “Adaptation to reproduction and growth in captivity leads to genetic changes in captive-bred individuals that are inevitable and unpredictable (Frankham 2008).”
Genomics and the future of conservation genetics (2010, background): “However, adaptation to captivity is a serious problem associated with captive breeding programmes for many specie”
