Article Synopsis
- Habitat fragmentation and environmental change threaten self-incompatible plant species that require high mate availability for survival, necessitating various rescue strategies.
- A study using a model over 500 years found that genetic rescue is the most effective method for enhancing fitness and viability of small plant populations, while demographic rescue also shows considerable benefits.
- Combining genetic rescue with habitat improvements provided the best outcomes, enhancing both population persistence and mate availability significantly, particularly with the addition of new genetic diversity (S alleles).
