Offspring survival changes over generations of captive breeding
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22631-0
Abstract: Conservation breeding programs such as zoos play a major role in preventing extinction, but their sustainability may be impeded by neutral and adaptive population genetic change. These changes are difficult to detect for a single… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-021-02760-4
Abstract: Pangolins are threatened placental mammals distributed in Africa and Asia. Many efforts have been undertaken in the last century to maintain pangolins in captivity, but only a few of them succeeded in maintaining and keeping… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/rd21058
Abstract: Captive breeding is an important tool for amphibian conservation despite high economic costs and deleterious genetic effects of sustained captivity and unavoidably small colony sizes. Integration of biobanking and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) could provide… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mollus/eyab011
Abstract: The global decline of freshwater bivalves (Unionida) has prompted many programmes for their conservation and augmentation, which often include a captive breeding component. One key point to such programmes is the collection, maintenance and use… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.12609
Abstract: Captive breeding programmes are often a necessity for the continued persistence of a population or species. They typically have the goal of maintaining genetic diversity and minimizing inbreeding. However, most captive breeding programmes have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cobi.13160
Abstract: Abstract With the loss of biodiversity accelerating, conservation translocations such as reintroductions are becoming an increasingly common conservation tool. Conservation translocations must source individuals for release from either wild or captive‐bred populations. We asked what… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cobi.13319
Abstract: Hybridization poses a major challenge for species conservation because it threatens both genetic integrity and adaptive potential. Yet, hybridization can occasionally offer unprecedented opportunity for species recovery if the genome of an extinct taxon is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0300985818766210
Abstract: The authors describe pathological and microbiological features of mortalities in a captive breeding colony of Lord Howe Island stick insects (Dryococelus australis) over a period of 18 months. There were 2 peaks of mortality in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1940082920915651
Abstract: The population of Timor deer (Rusa timorensis), an Indonesian endemic, continues to decline in its natural habitat, so captive breeding could become a source of individuals to bolster wild population. Support for captive breeding programs… read more here.
