Genetic load has potential in large populations but is realized in small inbred populations

Abstract Populations with higher genetic diversity and larger effective sizes have greater evolutionary capacity (i.e., adaptive potential) to respond to ecological stressors. We are interested in how the variation captured in protein‐coding genes fluctuates relative to overall genomic diversity and...
