  - Understanding the relative importance of heterosis and outbreeding depression
    over multiple generations is a key question in evolutionary biology and is essential
    for identifying appropriate genetic sources for population and ecosystem restoration.
    Here we use 2455 experimental crosses between 12 population pairs of the rare
    perennial plant Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides (Asteraceae) to investigate the multi-generational
    (F1, F2, F3) fitness outcomes of inter-population hybridization. We detected no
    evidence of outbreeding depression, with inter-population hybrids and backcrosses
    showing either similar fitness or significant heterosis for fitness components
    across the three generations. Variation in heterosis among population pairs was
    best explained by characteristics of the foreign source or home population, and
    was greatest when the source population was large, with high genetic diversity
    and low inbreeding, and the home population was small and inbred. Our results
    indicate that the primary consideration for maximizing progeny fitness following
    population augmentation or restoration is the use of seed from large, genetically
    diverse populations.@eng
