- #### Re-introduced populations
are populations that went extinct in a location and have since been reintroduced, by humans or, more rarely, through natural processes. Depending on the source of the re-introduced individuals, the genetic composition of re-introduced populations may differ from the original genetic composition at that location. Reintroductions can be done from captive breeding with small population sizes, thus likely presenting a mixed population origin, or sourcing individuals from another location. This will influence whether the original population, with its unique genetic composition, may be considered extant (noting potential genetic changes due to bottlenecks), or not.

- #### Reinforced populations
populations are naturally occurring populations that have a native gene pool but have had new individuals introduced to support the population. Depending on the origin of the new individuals, e.g. from a breeding population or other population, the reinforced population may contain non-local genetic material. The genetic composition of such populations is therefore likely to be mostly the original gene pool of the location, though can have a combination of native gene pool and variation from other populations.
- #### Supplemented (aka reinforced)
populations are naturally occurring populations that have a native gene pool but have had new individuals introduced to support the population. Depending on the origin of the new individuals, e.g. from a breeding population or other population, the reinforced population may contain non-local genetic material. The genetic composition of such populations thus can be a combination of the native gene pool and non-native variation from other populations.
