Contaminant driven genetic erosion: a case study with Daphnia longispina.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry - 1 May 2012

Ribeiro Rui, Baird Donald J, Soares Amadeu M V M, Lopes Isabel

Abstract excerpt

Natural populations exposed to pollutants are predicted to experience a loss of genetic diversity, especially through genetic drift, gene flow (emigration), and/or selection (as sensitive genotypes may be lost). In the present study, the authors discuss the use of selectable markers and neutral markers to evaluate a contaminant-driven loss of genetic diversity and possible implications of genetic erosion on...
