Inbreeding and selection shape genomic diversity in captive populations: Implications for the conservation of endangered species

Captive breeding programs are often initiated to prevent species extinction until reintroduction into the wild can occur. However, the evolution of captive populations via inbreeding, drift, and selection can impair fitness, compromising reintroduction programs. To better understand the evolutionary...
