Journal ArticleDOI
Pollination Syndromes and Floral Specialization
TL;DR: It is shown that pollination syndromes provide great utility in understanding the mechanisms of floral diversification and the importance of organizing pollinators into functional groups according to presumed similarities in the selection pressures they exert.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the probability of outbreeding depression
Richard Frankham,Richard Frankham,Jonathan D. Ballou,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Robert C. Lacy,Katherine Ralls,Michele R. Dudash,Charles B. Fenster +7 more
TL;DR: An extended form of the breeders' equation was used to predict the probability of OD due to adaptive differentiation between recently isolated population fragments as a function of intensity of selection, genetic diversity, effective population sizes, and generations of isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Call for a Paradigm Shift in the Genetic Management of Fragmented Populations
Katherine Ralls,Jonathan D. Ballou,Michele R. Dudash,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Charles B. Fenster,Robert C. Lacy,Paul Sunnucks,Richard Frankham +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that if the risk of outbreeding depression is low, the default should be to evaluate restoration of gene flow to small inbred populations of diploid outbreeding organisms that were isolated by human activities within the last 500 years, rather than inaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of different species concepts for conserving biodiversity
Richard Frankham,Richard Frankham,Jonathan D. Ballou,Michele R. Dudash,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Charles B. Fenster,Robert C. Lacy,Joseph R. Mendelson,Ingrid J. Porton,Katherine Ralls,Oliver A. Ryder +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the diagnostic phylogenetic species concept is unsuitable for use in conservation contexts, especially for classifying allopatric populations.
Book
Genetic Management of Fragmented Animal and Plant Populations
Richard Frankham,Richard Frankham,Jonathan D. Ballou,Katherine Ralls,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Michele R. Dudash,Charles B. Fenster,Robert C. Lacy,Paul Sunnucks +8 more
TL;DR: This book contains nine chapters and a list of take-home messages emphasising the need for re-establishing or establishing gene flow in fragmented populations and that inaction is usually more harmful to small populations than any attempt at genetic rescue.
