Positive correlation between genetic diversity and fitness in a large, well-connected metapopulation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Theory predicts that lower dispersal, and associated gene flow, leads to decreased genetic diversity in small isolated populations, which generates adverse consequences for fitness, and subsequently for demography. Here we report for...
