We also assessed the vulnerability or risks of mixing populations for all species. In total, 10 species were assessed as low risk, 31 species with some risks, and 11 species as a high risk of mixing. Overall, LC species were more likely to have lower or some risks associated with mixing while NT, VU, EN and CR species all had at least some risks associated with mixing populations and most of the CR species were assessed as a high risk of negative outcomes due to mixing populations (Figure 1B). In general, species with genetic incompatibilities such as multiple ploidy levels or hybridising species were more likely to be assessed with high risk of mixing. In addition, obligatory sexual reproduction, low longevity and population fragmentation all increased the risk of mixing populations.
