• Does Inbreeding and Loss of Genetic Diversity Decrease Disease Resistance? (2004, methodology): “Loss of allozymic variation in these populations does not differ from that predicted by Equation (1) (Montgomery et al. 2000).”
• Habitat fragmentation effects on fitness of plant populations – a review (2004, background): “…relating documented population extinction to original population size (Matthies, 1991) or those modelling real-world data (Eriksson & Eriksson, 2000; Oostermeijer, 2000; Young et al., 2000), as well as by an extensive experiment with the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster (Montgomery et al., 2000).”
• Spatial patterns of demography and genetic processes across the species' range: Null hypotheses for landscape conservation genetics (2003, methodology): “…our model provides a foundation for assessing the relative roles drift and selection play in generating spatial patterns of genetic diversity at nonneutral loci, where the strength of selection may also vary across a species’ range (e.g., Gockel et al. 2001; see also Montgomery et al. 2000).”
• Effects of intense versus diffuse population bottlenecks on microsatellite genetic diversity and evolutionary potential (2003, result): “This is consistent with most other studies where molecular markers lose heterozygosity approximately as predicted from neutral theory (see Montgomery et al. 2000).”
• Dynamics of genetic adaptation to captivity (2003, background): “Adaptation is expected to be greater in larger populations, as they possess greater genetic diversity than smaller populations (Robertson 1960; Soulé 1976; Robertson 1980; Frankham 1996; Montgomery et al. 2000; Gilligan 2001).”
