The phenotypic costs of captivity
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 434-449, April 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT The breeding of threatened species in captivity for release is a central tool in conservation biology. Given gloomy predictions for biodiversity trends in the Anthropocene, captive breeding will play an increasingly important role in preventing future extinctions. Relative to the wild, captive environments drastically alter selection pressures
