Severe inbreeding and gene loss in the historical and extant population of the critically endangered Devils Hole pupfish

2021-08-14

Abstract excerpt

Small populations with limited geographic distributions are predicted to be threatened by inbreeding and lack of genetic diversity, both of which may negatively impact fitness and exacerbate population decline. One of the most extreme natural examples is the Devils Hole pupfish ( Cyprinodon diabolis ), an iconic and critically endangered species with the smallest known habitat range of any vertebrate. This imperi...
