TLDR
The data show that mixing sources from different populations and regions has both benefits and drawbacks, and minimizing the risks of outbreeding and inbreeding depression, presented as a mostly dichotomous issue in the restoration literature is not an either-or issue in V. americana.About:

Bridging the gap: a genetic assessment framework for population‐level threatened plant conservation prioritization and decision‐making
TL;DR: A plain-language genetic assessment approach for population-level conservation prioritization based on measurement of key genetic parameters to improve understanding between conservation researchers and practitioners, enabling practitioners to incorporate genetic information into conservation actions and conservation genetic researchers to address research explicitly resulting in conservation action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of genetic diversity on conservation and restoration potential at individual, population, and regional scales
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the three scales of genetic diversity work together to determine population performance and evolutionary potential, and integrating the three aspects of genetic Diversity is paramount in addressing the impacts of a changing world on the conservation and restoration potential of at-risk populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity of the endangered Faucaria tigrina (Aizoaceae) through ISSR “fingerprinting” using automated fragment detection
TL;DR: F. tigrina is separable from the related Faucaria britteniae L. Bolus using the ISSR method, suggesting that this method may be appropriate for systematic studies in the Aizoaceae, which comprises many genera with closely related species.

Does restored plant diversity play a role in the reproductive functionality of Banksia populations
Alison L. Ritchie,Alison L. Ritchie,Paul G. Nevill,Paul G. Nevill,Elizabeth A. Sinclair,Elizabeth A. Sinclair,Siegfried L. Krauss,Siegfried L. Krauss +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the fertility and genetic diversity of a low species diversity restoration site and an adjacent natural remnant and found that fertility and diversity of adult plants and their offspring were comparable in all sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can physiographic regions substitute for genetically-determined conservation units? A case study with the threatened plant, Silene spaldingii
TL;DR: Modification of the CUs to reflect the genetic groups rather than the physiographic regions would result in CUs which better reflect historical patterns of population structure.

Conceptual issues in local adaptation
Tadeusz J. Kawecki,Dieter Ebert +1 more
TL;DR: This paper advocates multifaceted approaches to the study of local adaptation, and stresses the need for experiments explicitly addressing hypotheses about the role of particular ecological and genetic factors that promote or hinder local adaptation.

POPULATION GENETIC CONSEQUENCES OF SMALL POPULATION SIZE: Implications for Plant Conservation
TL;DR: The effects of genetic drift, inbreeding, and gene flow on genetic diversity and fitness in rare plants and small populations and those circumstances that are likely to put these plant species and populations at genetic risk are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between Fitness and Genetic Diversity
David H. Reed,Richard Frankham +1 more
TL;DR: Concerns that the loss of heterozygosity has a deleterious effect on population fitness are strengthened and the IUCN designation of genetic diversity as worthy of conservation is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A standardized genetic differentiation measure
TL;DR: A standarized measure of genetic differentiation is introduced here, one which has the same range, 0–1, for all levels of genetic variation, and allows comparison between loci with different levels of Genetic variation.
