Integrating biobanking minimises inbreeding and produces significant cost benefits for a threatened frog captive breeding programme

Abstract Captive breeding is an integral part of global conservation efforts despite high costs and adverse genetic effects associated with unavoidably small population sizes. Supplementing captive‐bred populations with biobanked founder sperm to restore genetic diversity offers a solution to colony...
