Do Severe Genetic Bottlenecks Lead to Greater Reproductive Failure?
It is generally accepted that populations which experience severe bottlenecks have a reduction in fitness. One of the most frequently reported fitness costs is increased hatching failure in bottlenecked populations of birds. The mechanism responsible for increased hatching failure is unknown. Resear...
