How many founders, how large a population?

Zoo biology - 1 Jan 2000

Willis Kevin, Willis Raymond E

Abstract excerpt

The number of population founders and the size of the population are two important variables in determining how much gene diversity can be retained in a population. A model is developed to determine the most cost-effective balance of those two variables, based on comparing the marginal costs of i...
