Reduced reproductive success and offspring survival in fragmented populations of the forest herb Phyteuma spicatum (2005, background): “increased inbreeding and loss of genetic variation due to genetic drift) or their interaction (e.g. Vergeer et al. 2003; Lienert 2004).”
Seed supply for broadscale restoration: maximizing evolutionary potential (2008, background): “Consequently, the utility of these to act as major seed sources may be limited with negative genetic and demographic consequences emerging as populations fall below 100–200 reproductive plants (Young et al. 2000; Lienert 2004; Lowe et al. 2005; Broadhurst and Young 2006; Yates et al. 2007).”
