Genetic signatures of small effective population sizes and demographic declines in an endangered rattlesnake, Sistrurus catenatus

Abstract Endangered species that exist in small isolated populations are at elevated risk of losing adaptive variation due to genetic drift. Analyses that estimate short‐term effective population sizes, characterize historical demographic processes, and project the trajectory of genetic variation in...
