Genetic variation across trophic levels: A test of the correlation between population size and genetic diversity in sympatric desert lizards.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2019

Rutherford Erica M, Ontano Andrew, Kantor Camille, Routman Eric J

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the causes of genetic variation in real populations has been elusive. Competing theories claim that neutral vs. selective processes have a greater influence on the genetic variation within a population. A key difference among theories is the relationship between population size and genetic diversity. Our study tests this empirically by sampling two species of herbivorous lizards (Dipsosaurus...
