Toll-like receptor variation in the bottlenecked population of the endangered Seychelles warbler (2016)
Journal Article
Gilroy, D., van Oosterhout, C., Komdeur, J., & Richardson, D. (2017). Toll-like receptor variation in the bottlenecked population of the endangered Seychelles warbler. Animal Conservation, 20(3), 235-250. https://doi.org/10.1111/acv.12307

In small populations, drift results in a loss of genetic variation, which reduces adaptive evolutionary potential. Furthermore, the probability of consanguineous mating increases which may result in inbreeding depression. Under certain circumstances,...
