Population Genomics of <i>Bettongia lesueur</i>: Admixing Increases Genetic Diversity with no Evidence of Outbreeding Depression
Small and isolated populations are subject to the loss of genetic variation as a consequence of inbreeding and genetic drift, which in turn, can affect the fitness and long-term viability of populations. Translocations can be used as an effective conservation tool to combat this loss of genetic dive...
