Trapped in the extinction vortex? Strong genetic effects in a declining vertebrate population.

BMC evolutionary biology - 2 Feb 2010

Blomqvist Donald, Pauliny Angela, Larsson Mikael, Flodin Lars-Ake

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity are expected to increase the extinction risk of small populations, but detailed tests in natural populations are scarce. We combine long-term population and fitness data with those from two types of molecular markers to examine the role of genetic effects in a declining metapopulation of southern dunlins Calidris alpina schinzii, an endangered shorebird....
