Article Synopsis
- Resource managers often believe increasing genetic diversity is crucial for preventing extinction in small populations, but this might not always be necessary.
- A study on the peregrine falcon showed that nonmigratory and island populations had lower genomic diversity and higher inbreeding, yet inbreeding might not be a significant threat for all populations.
- The findings suggest that factors like population decline history may be more important to consider than just genetic diversity when making conservation decisions.
