Abstract excerpt
Genetic diversity is expected to decrease in small and isolated populations as a consequence of founder effects, bottlenecks, inbreeding and genetic drift. In this study we analyse temporal and spatial effects on genetic variation and progeny viability of the European tree frog (Hyla arborea) at two scales. First, the Swedish distribution has been isolated from the continental distribution for more than 8000...
