Remarkably low genetic diversity and strong population structure in common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from coastal waters of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (2014, background): “Although there is no evidence of inbreeding depression for bottlenose dolphins in this region, the possibility of inbreeding in the small LGN community (Table 1) may, in the long-term, be detrimental to its viability since inbreeding can increase vulnerability to environmental stressors (O’Brien et ”
Stress: An inevitable component of animal translocation (2010, background): “, 2002) clearly play a primary role in disease-related mortality but additional pre-existing population conditions, such as susceptibility to these pathogens due to bottleneck effects in the population (Hale and Briskie, 2007) may also play a role.”
Predation and other factors currently limiting New Zealand forest birds. (2010, background): “For example, one study has demonstrated reduced immune response in a severely bottlenecked New Zealand robin population (Hale & Briskie 2007).”
