An empirical genetic assessment of the severity of the northern elephant seal population bottleneck.

Current biology : CB - 19 Oct 2000

Weber D S, Stewart B S, Garza J C, Lehman N

Abstract excerpt

A bottleneck in population size of a species is often correlated with a sharp reduction in genetic variation. The northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) has undergone at least one extreme bottleneck, having rebounded from 20-100 individuals a century ago to over 175,000 individuals today. The relative lack of molecular-genetic variation in contemporary populations has been documented, but the extent of...
