Limits to genetic bottlenecks and founder events imposed by the Allee effect.

Oecologia - 1 Oct 2008

Kramer Andrew, Sarnelle Orlando

Abstract excerpt

The Allee effect can result in a negative population growth rate at low population density. Consequently, populations below a minimum (critical) density are unlikely to persist. A lower limit on population size should constrain the loss of genetic variability due to genetic drift during population bottlenecks or founder events. We explored this phenomenon by modeling changes in genetic variability and...
