- Title
Conservation Genetics for Management of Threatened Plant and Animal Species.
- Authors
Ottewell, Kym; Byrne, Margaret
- Abstract
White et al. [[11]] demonstrated how genetic data can be used in an investigation into the genetic effects of past translocations in a once widespread mammal species that is now restricted to islands and fenced enclosures in Australia, to inform future translocations of the species. Globally, species and ecosystems continue to decline, and the impact on threatened species is increasing. Genetic analysis of the banded hare-wallaby ( I Lagostrophus fasciatus i ) showed serial translocation from a single source population has led to a loss of genetic diversity in a translocated fenced reserve, whilst inbreeding is of concern in the translocated island population.
