Genomic and Fitness Consequences of Genetic Rescue in Wild Populations

Gene flow is an enigmatic evolutionary force because it can limit adaptation but may also rescue small populations from inbreeding depression [1, 2, 3]. Several iconic examples of genetic rescue—increased population growth caused by gene flow [4, 5]—have reversed population declines [6, 7]. However,...
