Evaluating Assisted Gene Flow in Marginal Populations of a High Mountain Species

Evaluating Assisted Gene Flow in Marginal Populations of a High Mountain Species

Many species cannot either migrate or adapt at the rate of temperature increases due to climate warming. Therefore, they need active conservation strategies to avoid extinction. Facilitated adaptation actions, such assisted gene flow, aim at the increase of the evolutionary resilience of species aff...
