Experimental separation of genetic and demographic factors on extinction risk in wild populations.

Ecology - 1 Oct 2013

Wootton J Timothy, Pfister Catherine A

Abstract excerpt

When populations reach small size, an extinction risk vortex may arise from genetic (inbreeding depression, genetic drift) and ecological (demographic stochasticity, Allee effects, environmental fluctuation) processes. The relative contribution of these processes to extinction in wild populations is unknown, but important for conserving endangered species. In experimental field populations of a harvested kelp...
