Abstract excerpt
The distribution of resources influences interactions in wild populations by affecting movement, space-use patterns, and, as a result, mating systems. Limited resources may reduce encounters between potential breeders, reducing the number and variety of individuals contributing to the population's gene pool. This can impact the variance effective population size (Nev), an important indicator of genetic drift and...
