The reality and importance of founder speciation in evolution.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 May 2008

Templeton Alan R

Abstract excerpt

A founder event occurs when a new population is established from a small number of individuals drawn from a large ancestral population. Mayr proposed that genetic drift in an isolated founder population could alter the selective forces in an epistatic system, an observation supported by recent st...
