Tipping the Scales Using Cryopreservation: Modelling the Genetic Value and Management Potential of Integrated Cryopreservation for Threatened Ex‐Situ Pupfish Populations

ABSTRACT Zoos and aquaria must retain genetic diversity for the species they house if the populations are to remain viable. The cryopreservation and storage of living animal cells is a potential strategy for minimising genetic diversity loss over time, when genetic diversity can...
