Quantifying the mutational meltdown in diploid populations.

The American naturalist - 1 May 2013

Coron Camille, Méléard Sylvie, Porcher Emmanuelle, Robert Alexandre

Abstract excerpt

Mutational meltdown, in which demographic and genetic processes mutually reinforce one another to accelerate the extinction of small populations, has been poorly quantified despite its potential importance in conservation biology. Here we present a model-based framework to study and quantify the mutational meltdown in a finite diploid population that is evolving continuously in time and subject to resource...
