Abstract excerpt
Evolutionary potential, the capacity to evolve in response to environmental change, is important for the persistence of threatened species. This potential is diminished by genetic drift in small populations, causing the loss of genetic diversity and reduced efficiency of selection. We introduce an approach to evaluate evolutionary potential that integrates across these components by conducting genome-scale...
