Contrasting genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction and natural recolonization in high-arctic wild reindeer. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2023 Anthropogenic reintroduction can supplement natural recolonization in reestablishing a species' distribution and abundance. However, both reintroductions and recolonizations can give rise to founder effects that reduce genetic diversity and increase ...
