Restoring species through reintroductions: strategies for source population selection (2015, background): “748 Restoration Ecology November 2015 Second, the multiple source population approach is essentially a bet-hedging strategy (Kettenring et al. 2014), and may delay the identification of a best source population.”
Evolution of plant materials for ecological restoration: insights from the applied and basic literature (2017, methodology): “While the ecosystem-level effects of genetic variation are quite well studied (e.g. Michalet et al. 2011; Hautier et al. 2015), this research has not yet been applied to designing foundation restoration materials that support ecosystem function (but see Kettenring et al. 2014).”
Restoration of plant species and genetic diversity depends on landscape‐scale dispersal (2018, background): “Careful selection of populations acting as sources of propagules for reintroduction may increase the genetic diversity of restored populations and can thus significantly support the long-term survival of restored plant populations (Reynolds et al. 2013; Kettenring et al. 2014).”
