Quantitative genetic effects of bottlenecks: experimental evidence from a wild plant species, Nigella degenii.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Andersson Stefan, Ellmer Maarten, Jorgensen Tove H, Palmé Anna

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic consequences of changes in population size is fundamental in a variety of contexts, such as adaptation and conservation biology. In the study presented here, we have performed a replicated experiment with the plant Nigella degenii to explore the quantitative genetic effects of a single-founder bottleneck. In agreement with additive theory, the bottleneck reduced the mean (co)variance...
