Genetic Diversity in a Small Chicken Population Inferred from Microsatellite Polymorphism
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2014 Neutral genetic variation is believed to provide useful information for conservation of farm-animal genetic resources. The aim of the present study was to assess genetic diversity in a small native chicken population composed of 4 groups, using neutral ...

Maintenance of genetic diversity in subdivided populations using genomic coancestry matrices. [PDF]
Mol Ecol Resour, 2023 AbstractFor both undivided and subdivided populations, the consensus method to maintain genetic diversity is the Optimal Contribution (OC) method. For subdivided populations, this method determines the optimal contribution of each candidate to each subpopulation to maximize global genetic diversity (which implicitly optimizes migration between ...

Practical implementation of optimal management strategies in conservation programmes: a mate selection method [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2001 The maintenance of genetic diversity is, from a genetic point of view, a key objective of conservation programmes. The selection of individuals contributing offspring and the decision of the mating scheme are the steps on which managers can control ...

Genomic Inbreeding and Relatedness in Wild Panda Populations.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Inbreeding and relatedness in wild panda populations are important parameters for panda conservation. Habitat loss and fragmentation are expected to increase inbreeding but the actual inbreeding levels in natural panda habitats were unknown.
