Breeding Strategies to Optimize Effective Population Size in Low Census Captive Populations: The Case of <i>Gazella cuvieri</i>

Breeding Strategies to Optimize Effective Population Size in Low Census Captive Populations: The Case of <i>Gazella cuvieri</i>

Small-sized animal populations can undergo significant loss of genetic variability that can lead to their extinction. Therefore, studies on animal breeding have focused on mating systems for minimizing the disappearance of genetic variability. The main objective of this study was to compare, using c...
