Genetic drift and bottleneck do not influence diversity in Toll‐like receptor genes at a small spatial scale in a Himalayan passerine
Abstract Genetic diversity is important for long‐term viability of a population. Low genetic diversity reduces persistence and survival of populations and increases susceptibility to diseases. Comparisons of the neutral markers with functional loci such as immune genes [Toll‐like receptors; TLR] can...
