A Guide for Developing Demo‐Genetic Models to Simulate Genetic Rescue by Julian E. Beaman, Katie Gates, Frédérik Saltré, Carolyn J. Hogg, Katherine Belov, Kita Ashman, Karen Burke daSilva, Luciano B. Beheregaray, Corey J. A. Bradshaw

“…We then use a case study of threatened Australian marsupials to demonstrate that published genetic data can be used in one or all stages of model development and application, including parameterization, calibration, and validation. We highlight that genetic rescue can be simulated with either virtual or empirical sequence variation (or a hybrid approach) and suggest that model‐based decision‐making should be informed by ranking the sensitivity of predicted probability/time to extinction to variation in model parameters (e.g., translocation size, frequency, source populations) among different genetic‐rescue scenarios.…”
