Fig 1 reprinted from Open Access
Three researchers in EBTJV's network recently published Is now the time? Review of genetic rescue as a conservation tool for brook trout, in the journal Ecology and Evolution.
Jacob Rash, one of the coauthors of the study, and EBTJV's Chairman, offered: “Although genetic rescue holds promise, there is much to consider when evaluating this conservation approach. This paper reviews the strengths and weaknesses of genetic rescue, while encouraging the tool’s robust development through collaboration among those that use it.”
