A documented amphibian decline over 40 years: Possible causes and implications for species recovery (2007, background): “However, genetic factors should not be neglected since in natural amphibian populations most species are not driven to extinction before genetic factors impact them (recently reviewed in Frankham, 2005).”
Preserving genetic diversity in threatened species reintroductions: how many individuals should be released? (2011, background): “Populations with high levels of genetic diversity should be more likely to adapt to changes in habitat, climate or pathogens (Frankham, 2005).”
Responsible genetic approach to stock restoration, sea ranching and stock enhancement of marine fishes and invertebrates (2017, background): “In many conservation efforts to save endangered populations with captive propagation, the loss of 2% of genetic diversity (n = 50) is acceptable in the short term, but less than 0.2% (n = 500) in the long term (Frankham 1995, 2005).”
Inbreeding, inbreeding depression and extinction (2008, background): “…Saccheri et al. 1996; Roff 2002; Swindell and Bouzat 2006b), but overall, the evidence for purging in plant and animal populations is limited and this has led to a questioning of the role of purging in restoring fitness (Ballou 1997; Byers and Waller 1999; Crnokrak and Barrett 2002; Frankham 2005).”
Host population genetic structure and zooxanthellae diversity of two reef-building coral species along the Florida Reef Tract and wider Caribbean (2010, background): “Inbreeding depression, a reduction in fitness due to mating of relatives, is a concern in captive and small restored populations (Husband and Schemske 1996; Frankham 2005).”
Patterns of widespread decline in North American bumble bees (2011, background): “The increased potential for inbreeding and genetic drift in small effective populations could lead to increased susceptibility to environmental pressures (17, 18, 31), including N.”
The genetic effects of roads: A review of empirical evidence (2010, background): “, & Frankham, R. (2001). How closely correlated are molecular and quantitative measures of genetic variation? A meta-analysis.”
What do we know about armadillos? An analysis of four centuries of knowledge about a group of South American mammals, with emphasis on their conservation (2014, neutral): “Similarly, data on the population genetics of armadillos are limited to Dasypus novemcinctus (Prodöhl et al. 2008), although such information is fundamental for the assessment of the extinction risk of a species (Frankham 2005).”
Genetic diversity is considered important but interpreted narrowly in country reports to the Convention on Biological Diversity: Current actions and indicators are insufficient (2021, positive): “Higher levels of genetic diversity reduce negative inbreeding effects in populations (Frankham, 2005), provide wild species with the potential to adapt to environmental change (Sgr ` o et al., 2011; Wernberg et al., 2018; Carroll et al., 2014), support community structure and ecosystem functions,…”
Sustaining Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (2019, background): “It is critical for the survival and adaptability of a species, helping organisms to cope with current environmental variability, reducing the potentially deleterious effects of close relative breeding, and increasing disease resistance (Frankham 2005).”
Population genetics of Australian white sharks reveals fine-scale spatial structure, transoceanic dispersal events and low effective population sizes (2012, background): “Ne also evaluates the future evolutionary resilience of a species; the lower Ne becomes, the greater the likelihood of deleterious allele fixation and loss of adaptive variation through genetic drift, thereby heightening the risk of population extinction (Frankham 2005, Hare et al. 2011).”
Additive effects of climate change on connectivity between marine protected areas and larval supply to fished areas (2015, background): “Local isolated populations are often of small size and are at risk of extinction through demographic and genetic stochasticity (Gilpin & Soul e, 1986; Gaggiotti & Hanski, 2004; Frankham, 2005).”
Genetics in conservation management: Revised recommendations for the 50/500 rules, Red List criteria and population viability analyses (2014, background): “There is now extensive evidence that genetic factors influence extinction risk (Frankham, 2005; Frankham et al., 2010; Allendorf et al., 2013).”
Rare and endemic species: why are they prone to extinction? (2011, background): “Each of these factors, either alone or in combination, may contribute to a decline in population size, which, in turn leads to eventual extinction (Frankham, 2005).”
High genetic differentiation and cross-shelf patterns of genetic diversity among Great Barrier Reef populations of Symbiodinium (2009, background): “…studies provide powerful information on factors that determine the resilience of ecosystems, such as the genetic diversity of key species or groups (Frankham 2005; Willi et al. 2006; Palstra and Ruzzante 2008), the extent of their connectivity with surrounding populations (Palumbi 2003; Hellberg…”
Conservation implications of species–genetic diversity correlations (2014, background): “…with variation in any particular phenotypic characteristic (Reed and Frankham, 2001), it can be expected to reflect evolvability and adaptive potential in the long-term due to its link with effective population size (Robertson, 1960; Frankham, 2005b; Willi et al., 2006; Lanfear et al., 2014).”
