For example, eight panthers from [[Texas]] were introduced to the [[Florida]] panther population, which was declining and suffering from inbreeding depression. Genetic variation was thus increased and resulted in a significant increase in population growth of the Florida panther.{{Cite journal |last1=Pimm |first1=S.
