We are thrilled for this to be included in the @pnas.org Special Feature: Monitoring & Restoring Gene Flow in the Increasingly Fragmented Ecosystems of the Anthropocene www.pnas.org/topic/574

Wonderful to work with editors @siluwang.bsky.social and Anne Yoder and all contributors to this feature

Excited to share our new paper led by @alexlewanski.bsky.social showing largely positive, multi-decadal consequences of translocations in Red-cockaded woodpeckers at Avon Park Air Force Range in central Florida: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Delayed post, but we are excited to share this study on decades of monitoring of translocations launched by the late Reed Bowman. We show a demographic boost (i.e., rescue!), but success was largely driven by a few individuals leading to erosion of genetic diversity.
