European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) dieback - a conservation biology challenge. (2013, background): “Forest pathologists need to work together with conservation biologists, forest and landscape managers, plant breeders, restoration ecologists, social scientists and tree geneticists (Tallmon et al., 2004; McKay et al., 2005; Waring and O’Hara, 2005; Laine et al., 2011; McRoberts et al., 2011; Pliura”
Hybridization and extinction (2016, background): “…depression and genetic rescue While the focus of this review is on potential threats from hybridization, under certain conditions hybridization can ‘rescue’ (i.e., increase fitness of) small, inbred populations (Vil a et al. 2003; Madsen et al. 2004; Tallmon et al. 2004; Johnson et al. 2010).”

The response of tree squirrels to fragmentation: a review and synthesis (2005, background): “In addition, decreased sensitivity of eastern grey squirrels to fragmentation also suggests that habitat fragments could provide demographic and genetic rescue when populations of the alien are exterminated or lost ( Tallmon, Luikart & Waples, 2004 ).”

Genetics and extinction and the example of Isle Royale wolves (2019, background): “…to overcome the impact of lowered fitness is genetic rescue in which the natural or artificial introduction of individuals from outside the population provides genetic variation that subsequently results in higher fitness (Tallmon et al., 2004; Whiteley et al., 2015; Hedrick & Garcia-Dorado, 2016).”

What is the fitness outcome of crossing unrelated fish populations? A meta-analysis and an evaluation of future research directions (2007, background): “Hybridization, or outbreeding, is often used as a technique to recover inbred wild populations (Heschel and Paige 1995; Westemeier et al. 1998; Land and Lacy 2000; Tallmon et al. 2004 ) or to enhance desired traits in commercially managed stocks (for example Hedgecock and Davis 2000; Hayward and Wa”
