“…Generally, increased levels of inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity threaten long‐term population survival and may lead to population extinction through decreased fertility, reduced ability to adapt to environmental changes, and enhanced susceptibility to infectious disease (Evans & Sheldon, ; Keller & Waller, ; O'Grady et al, ; Smith, Sax, & Lafferty, ; Willi, Van Buskirk, & Hoffmann, ). Threatened populations are frequently impacted by a multitude of factors starting with small long‐term effective population size (Abascal et al, ; Xue et al, ), low genetic diversity, habitat fragmentation and loss (Bergl, Bradley, Nsubuga, & Vigilant, ; Casas‐Marce, Soriano, López‐Bao, & Godoy, ), and other anthropogenic pressures (Brown, Peacock, & Ritchie, ; Wang, Qiao, Li, Pan, & Yao, ).…”
