Abstract excerpt
The effects of a single population bottleneck of differing severity on heritability and additive genetic variance was investigated experimentally using a butterfly. An outbred laboratory stock was used to found replicate lines with one pair, three pairs and 10 pairs of adults, as well as control lines with approximately 75 effective pairs. Heritability and additive genetic variance of eight wing pattern...
