A small, isolated tiger population in Thailand's Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex faces significant genetic decline without intervention. Research using individual-based, spatially-explicit population modeling reveals that frequent translocations of four females every generation or every other generation are necessary to prevent substantial loss of heterozygosity and allelic richness. Female-biased introductions consistently produce higher population size and genetic diversity compared to equal numbers of males. Despite potential population increases through translocations, long-term genetic diversity may not be preserved unless applied frequently, underscoring the importance of incorporating realistic genetic processes in conservation strategies for small populations.
