“…Several key points that shaped the history of biological control programs and invasive species management are plotted below the timeline (Heimpel & Cock, 2018;Johnson, Crafton, & Upton, 2017;Vail, Coulson, Kauffman, & Dix, 2001) Genetic swamping is a potential negative consequence specific to reinforcements. We found no reports of genetic swamping adversely impacting reinforced populations, though it was only explicitly monitored in a few cases (Bouzat et al, 2009;Hogg, Forbes, Steele, & Luikart, 2006;Jahner et al, 2019;Olson, Whittaker, & Rhodes, 2012;Zimmerman, Aldridge, Apa, & Oyler-Mccance, 2019). It is general practice to perform reinforcements of small numbers to avoid swamping.…”
