The genetic consequences of captive breeding, environmental change and human exploitation in the endangered peninsular pronghorn

Abstract Endangered species with small population sizes are susceptible to genetic erosion, which can be detrimental to long-term persistence. Consequently, monitoring and mitigating the loss of genetic diversity are essential for conservation. The Peninsular pronghorn (Antilocapra americana peninsu...
