Genetic diversity in a long-lived mammal is explained by the past's demographic shadow and current connectivity.

Abstract excerpt

Within-species genetic diversity is crucial for the persistence and integrity of populations and ecosystems. Conservation actions require an understanding of factors influencing genetic diversity, especially in the context of global change. Both population size and connectivity are factors greatly influencing genetic diversity; the relative importance of these factors can, however, change through time. Hence,...
