Population on the verge of a mutational meltdown? Fitness costs of genetic load for an amphibian in the wild.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jan 2003

Rowe Graham, Beebee Trevor J C

Abstract excerpt

The fitness costs of high genetic load in wild populations have rarely been assessed under natural conditions. Such costs are expected to be greatest in small, bottlenecked populations, including those occurring near range edges. Britain is at the northwesterly range limit of the natterjack toad...
