Abstract: Large-scale exploitation of wild animals and plants through fishing, hunting and logging often depends on augmentation through releases of translocated or captively raised individuals. Such releases are performed worldwide in vast numbers. Augmentation can be demographically and economically beneficial but can also cause four types of adverse genetic change to wild populations: (1) loss of genetic variation, (2) loss of adaptations, (3) change of population composition, and (4) change of population structure. While adverse genetic impacts are recognized and documented in fisheries, little effort is devoted to actually monitoring them. In forestry and wildlife management, genetic risks associated with releases are largely neglected. We outline key features of programs to effectively monitor consequences of such releases on natural populations.

Building coral reef resilience through assisted evolution
TL;DR: The risks and benefits of the improvement of natural and commercial stocks in noncoral reef systems are reviewed and a series of experiments are advocated to determine the feasibility of developing coral stocks with enhanced stress tolerance through the acceleration of naturally occurring processes, an approach known as (human)-assisted evolution.

Cultured fish: integrative biology and management of domestication and interactions with wild fish
TL;DR: An integrative biological framework for understanding and managing domestication and cultured‐wild fish interactions is developed and a typology of management systems (specific combinations of management practices in culture and in natural environments) that are likely to provide positive outcomes for particular management objectives and situations are developed.

Population differentiation and phenotypic plasticity in temperature response of bud burst in Frangula alnus provenances of different latitude
TL;DR: The results suggest two mechanisms driving bud burst in F. alnus provenances, a co-gradient and a counter-gradient variation depending on the latitude of origin, and a plastic reaction to the warmer conditions compared to its site of origin.

Estimates of gene flow and dispersal in wild riverine Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations reveal ongoing migration and introgression from stocked fish.
TL;DR: Investigating the spatial genetic structure of Brook Trout populations residing in the Upper Hudson River watershed of New York State suggests that fish in the area exhibit varying degrees of introgression from nearby State‐directed supplementation activities, and suggests that stocking activities may have far‐reaching consequences that are not directly limited to the immediate area where stocking occurs.
