Genetic rescue of Australian wildlife

澳大利亚野生动物的基因拯救。该项目旨在测试基因拯救作为一种有效恢复受威胁动植物的技术。尽管基因拯救的益处占压倒性优势，但它仍未得到充分利用。该项目将把对五个濒危/极度濒危物种的管理行动转变为严格的实验，以衡量基因拯救的健康益处，并展示全基因组范围的后果。预期的结果包括创新的基因救援方案、基因救援框架和前沿保护培训。预期的好处是增加了对管理反应迟钝的物种的持久性，并提供了一条拯救濒危物种的新途径。

Genetic rescue of Australian wildlife. This project aims to test genetic rescue as an efficient recovery technique for threatened plants and animals. Genetic rescue is under-utilised, even though it is overwhelmingly beneficial. This project will convert management actions on five Endangered/Critically Endangered species into rigorous experiments that measure the fitness benefits of genetic rescue, and demonstrate genome-wide consequences. Anticipated outcomes include innovative genetic rescue protocols, a framework for genetic rescue, and leading-edge conservation training. Expected benefits are increased persistence of species that are otherwise unresponsive to management, and a new path to saving endangered species.
