Minimising Risks of Reduced Genetic Diversity in Marine Restoration
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Marine habitat restoration is expanding globally and increasingly relies on aquaculture and hatchery‐based propagation, yet the genetic consequences of producing and outplanting large numbers of habitat‐forming organisms remain poorly evaluated.

Inbreeding and founder cultivars contributions in low chill requirement peaches and nectarines
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2023 The pedigree analysis from genealogical data can estimate the inbreeding from identity-by-descent, being a powerful tool for germplasm characterization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of peach and nectarine cultivars from the

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 ...

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 ...

Genetics Research, 2008 SummaryOver recent years, selection methodologies have been developed to allow the maximization of genetic gain whilst constraining the rate of inbreeding. The desired rate of inbreeding is achieved by constraining the group coancestry using the numerator relationship matrix computed from pedigree.

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.
