Genetic Load, Eco-Evolutionary Feedback, and Extinction in Metapopulations

AbstractHabitat fragmentation poses a significant risk to population survival, causing both demographic stochasticity and genetic drift within local populations to increase, thereby increasing genetic load. Higher load causes population numbers to decline, which reduces the efficiency of selection a...
