Description

Studies exploring the genetic consequences of population bottlenecks are increasingly examining the loss of diversity at functional loci (such as genes associated with the immune system), while neutral markers (such as microsatellites) are often used as a basis for general genetic diversity comparisons. Within this field of investigation, aspects that require further research include whether 1) remnant, genetically depauperate mainland and insular-originating source populations differ in immu...
