The importance of small island populations for the long-term survival of endangered large-bodied insular mammals

2024-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Island populations of large vertebrates have experienced higher extinction rates than mainland populations over long timescales due to demographic stochasticity, genetic drift and inbreeding. Conversely, small island populations often experience relatively less anthropogenic habitat degradation than populations on larger islands, making them potential targets for conservation interventions such as genetic rescue t...
