The type of bottleneck matters: Insights into the deleterious variation landscape of small managed populations
Abstract Predictions about the consequences of a small population size on genetic and deleterious variation are fundamental to population genetics. As small populations are more affected by genetic drift, purifying selection acting against deleterious alleles is predicted to be less efficient, there...
