The effects of habitat fragmentation on demography and on the loss of genetic variation in the red squirrel.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Feb 1994

Wauters L A, Hutchinson Y, Parkin D T, Dhondt A A

Abstract excerpt

A major problem in conservation biology is the extent to which the loss of genetic variability in isolated populations reduces their chance of survival. We present data in which the loss of genetic diversity in small and isolated populations can be directly related to population dynamics. Genetic similarity in red squirrels is inversely correlated with population size. The loss of genetic variation and the lower...
