Isolated Populations

Having identified small geographically and genetically isolated populations, we need to determine whether they are suffering genetic erosion, and if so, whether there are any other populations to which they could be crossed. We should next ask whether crossing is expected to be harmful or beneficial, and if beneficial, whether the benefits would be large enough to justify a genetic rescue attempt. Here, we address these questions based on the principles established in the preceding chapters.
