Inbreeding of bottlenecked butterfly populations. Estimation using the likelihood of changes in marker allele frequencies.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1999

Abstract excerpt

Polymorphic enzyme and minisatellite loci were used to estimate the degree of inbreeding in experimentally bottlenecked populations of the butterfly, Bicyclus anynana (Satyridae), three generations after founding events of 2, 6, 20, or 300 individuals, each bottleneck size being replicated at least four times. Heterozygosity fell more than expected, though not significantly so, but this traditional measure of the...
