Global assessment of effective population sizes: consistent taxonomic differences in meeting the 50/500 rule

2023-09-23

Abstract excerpt

Effective population size ( N e ) is a particularly useful metric for conservation as it affects genetic drift, inbreeding and adaptive potential within populations. Current guidelines recommend a minimum N e of 50 and 500 to avoid short-term inbreeding and to preserve long-term adaptive potential, respectively. However, the extent to which wild populations reach these thresholds globally has not been investig...
