Genetic structure and effective size of an endangered population of woodland caribou

2019-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Human-driven habitat fragmentation is increasing worldwide, and consequently many wild populations are subdivided, isolated and reduced in size. These changes in population structure reduce dispersal among subpopulations, limiting gene flow, accelerating genetic differentiation, and reducing genetic diversity and effective population sizes. Habitat fragmentation is associated with a reduced ability for populations...
