Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments : a genetic perspective
Andrew Weeks,Carla M. Sgrò,Andrew G. Young,Richard Frankham,Nicki Mitchell,Kim A. Miller,Margaret Byrne,David J. Coates,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Paul Sunnucks,Martin F. Breed,Elizabeth A. James,Ary A. Hoffmann +12 more
TL;DR: A classification of translocations based on specific genetic goals for both threatened species and ecological restoration is provided, separating targets based on ‘genetic rescue’ of current population fitness from those focused on maintaining adaptive potential.
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
Unprecedented Low Levels of Genetic Variation and Inbreeding Depression in an Island Population of the Black-Footed Rock-Wallaby
Mark D. B. Eldridge,Juliet M. King,Anne Loupis,Peter S. Spencer,Andrea Carolyn Taylor,Lisa C. Pope,Graham P. Hall +6 more
TL;DR: Compared levels of genetic variation and fitness in island and mainland populations of the black‐footed rock‐wallaby (Petrogale lateralis) are compared, results indicate that the Barrow Island population of P. lateralis has unprecedented low levels of Genetic variation and suffers from inbreeding depression.
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
Transmission of a fatal clonal tumor by biting occurs due to depleted MHC diversity in a threatened carnivorous marsupial
Hannah V. Siddle,Alexandre Kreiss,Mark D. B. Eldridge,Erin Noonan,Candice J. Clarke,Stephen Pyecroft,Gregory M. Woods,Katherine Belov +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the Tasmanian devil tumor is clonal and therefore foreign to host devils, and this mode of immune escape does not occur, providing a conclusive link between a loss of MHC diversity and spread of a disease through a wild population.
