This may be a bit of a cop out but I wanted to blog about some of the issues surrounding genetics and translocations and found this post on the excellent Conservation Bytes blog run by Corey Bradshaw. The author, Dr Salvador Herrando-Perez, has done a much better job than I could so I encourage you to follow the link below:

This blog is a resource and forum for people working on conservation translocations including reintroductions, re-enforcement, assisted colonisation/colonization and ecological replacement. If you would like to keep in touch with the translocation world, please subscribe and don't hesitate to contact me if you want me to feature your projects, articles, meetings or collaborations.
