• Genetic estimates of contemporary effective population size: what can they tell us about the importance of genetic stochasticity for wild population persistence? (2008, background): “Fitness loss due to decreased population size has also been linked to increased extinction risk under experimental (e.g. Wright et al. 2007) and natural conditions (Newman & Pilson 1997; Saccheri et al. 1998; Nieminen et al. 2001).”
• Conservation genetics of population bottlenecks: the role of chance, selection, and history (2010, background): “6%) showed concurrent estimates of fitness, which may be indicative of inbreeding depression; and only one (Wright et al. 2008) linked levels of genetic diversity and extinction.”
