A test of the 'genetic rescue' technique using bottlenecked donor populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
We produced replicated experimental lines of inbred fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster to test the effects of crossing different bottlenecked populations as a method of 'genetic rescue' for endangered species lacking outbred donor populations. Two strains differing in the origin of the fo...
