Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Anthropogenic forces have resulted in staggering losses of biodiversity and population declines in many species over the past two centuries. Associated with these declines are potential adverse effects linked to small population sizes, including loss of genetic diversity and increased levels of inbreeding. Here, we leverage DNA sequencing from museum specimens to examine genetic variation between...
