Heterozygosity in an isolated population of a large mammal founded by four individuals is predicted by an individual-based genetic model.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Kekkonen Jaana, Wikström Mikael, Brommer Jon E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Within-population genetic diversity is expected to be dramatically reduced if a population is founded by a low number of individuals. Three females and one male white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus, a North American species, were successfully introduced in Finland in 1934 and the population has since been growing rapidly, but remained in complete isolation from other populations....
