Abstract excerpt
The bottleneck effect (or extended period of reduced population size) is known to increase genetic distance (D) substantially, and this can be a serious factor that disturbs the phylogenetic relationships of populations inferred from genetic distance estimates. The bottleneck effect is also known to be a factor that disturbs the hierarchial relationships of the fixation indices (FST) or the coefficients of gene...
