Genetic and demographic population management in zoos and aquariums: recent developments, future challenges and opportunities for scientific research (2011, background): “Nevertheless this is important, because individuals that are well adapted to the circumstances in captivity may be less well adapted to the circumstances in the wild and may show lower fitness upon reintroduction (Woodworth et al., 2002; Frankham, 2008; Williams & Hoffman, 2009).”
