Restoring species through reintroductions: strategies for source population selection (2015, background): “The same genes may occur in both the source and extirpated populations because they were present in a recent common ancestor or were transferred between populations through gene flow (Moritz 1999).”
Concordant molecular and phenotypic data delineate new taxonomy and conservation priorities for the endangered mountain yellow‐legged frog (2007, background): “Both here and generally, for effective conservation, it is imperative that species and population boundaries are drawn correctly (Avise, 1989; Moritz, 1999, 2002 ).”
Mitochondrial Control Region and microsatellite analyses on harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) unravel population differentiation in the Baltic Sea and adjacent waters (2010, background): “While the concept of Evolutionary Significant Units (ESU) aims at denominating units with a common evolutionary history over longer (evolutionary) timescales, the scope of conservation and management efforts is typically more limited, both in space and time (Moritz 1994, 1999).”
Strategies to protect biological diversity and the evolutionary processes that sustain it. (2002, methodology): “…I discuss these in turn, using as a reference point the concepts and criteria I put forward earlier (Moritz, 1994a; see also Moritz et al., 1995; Moritz, 1999), recognizing that these have been widely used (often with considerable latitude; see Crandall et al., 2000) and have proved to be…”
Genetic pollution of native eucalypt gene pools—identifying the risks (2003, background): “This could arise simply through removal of deleterious inbreeding effects, but may be counteracted by differences in local adaptation (Moritz 1999).”
The Restoration Gene Pool Concept: Beyond the Native Versus Non‐Native Debate (2003, background): “Moritz (1999) emphasized the importance of conservation of ecological and evolutionary processes in discrete historically isolated and independently evolving “evolutionarily significant units,” which appear to correspond roughly to metapopulations.”
Adaptive population divergence: markers, QTL and traits (2002, background): “However, genetic criteria are also invoked frequently to guide short-term actions, such as transfer of individuals between existing populations as well as restoration efforts where populations have been extirpated [7, 40 ,41].”
Microsatellite analysis of genetic population structure of the endangered cyprinid Anaecypris hispanica in Portugal: implications for conservation (2003, background): “Nevertheless, care is also needed to avoid over-splitting of populations, which may potentially lead to the inappropriate isolation of historically connected populations (Moritz, 1999).”
Conservation of adaptive potential and functional diversity: integrating old and new approaches (2018, background): “…habitats and focusing on ecological or evolutionary processes will ultimately be preferable to conservation of particular phenotypes or genotypes (Moritz 1999, 2002); process-oriented approaches, for example, might recommend restricting translocation of animals between ESUs but allow for mixing…”
Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments: a genetic perspective (2011, background): “…sources for translocations, including avoiding the deleterious effects of inbreeding and the possibility of creating ‘genetic ghettoes’ (Frankel 1974; Moritz 1999). ª 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 4 (2011) 709–725 715 When translocations are focussed on increasing the adaptability of populations…”
Habitat fragmentation effects on fitness of plant populations – a review (2004, methodology): “Scientifically documented reintroduction of species has only rarely been done with plants, and the demographic viability of translocated populations has not been explored adequately (Moritz, 1999).”
