The importance of genetic diversity for the translocation of eight threatened plant species into the wild

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Considering ongoing biodiversity losses, translocations of threatened plant species into the wild has become a common conservation technique although they are considered laborious, expensive and rarely successful.

Intergenomic rearrangements after polyploidization of Kengyilia thoroldiana (Poaceae: Triticeae) affected by environmental factors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Polyploidization is a major evolutionary process. Approximately 70-75% species of Triticeae (Poaceae) are polyploids, involving 23 genomes. To investigate intergenomic rearrangements after polyploidization of Triticeae species and to determine the ...

Guidelines for evaluating the conservation value of African lion (Panthera leo) translocations

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022
As the top predator in African ecosystems, lions have lost more than 90% of their historical range, and few countries possess strong evidence for stable populations.

Mixture or mosaic? Genetic patterns in UK grey squirrels support a human-mediated ‘long-jump’ invasion mechanism [PDF]

, 2016
Aim Clarifying whether multiple introductions of a species remain relatively isolated or merge and interbreed is essential for understanding the dynamics of invasion processes.

Unnoticed introductions, a silent threat for biodiversity: island endemic Ladigesocypris ghigii (Actinopterygii, Leuciscidae) translocated to continental Greece

The European Zoological Journal, 2023
Morphological similarity between an intruder and a native species can hinder the detection of the intruder. The undetected non-native species will thus have more time to affect the local ecosystem and spread. This paper describes an instance of unnoticed

Wheat-barley hybridization – the last forty years [PDF]

, 2013
Several useful alien gene transfers have been reported from related species into wheat (Triticum aestivum), but very few publications have dealt with the development of wheat/barley (Hordeum vulgare) introgression lines. An overview is given here of
