Effects of population size on genetic diversity and seed production in the rare Dictamnus albus(Rutaceae) in central Germany (2004, background): “A decline in the local abundance of a plant species as a result of habitat fragmentation is therefore a major focus in plant conservation due to the relationship between loss of genetic diversity and reduced reproductive fitness (Fischer et al. 2000; Frankham et al. 2002 ).”
Perspective: conservation genetics enters the genomics era (2010, background): “For example, the data should yield improved estimates of genic heterozygosity (H) within individuals and thereby help unveil mechanisms underlying the longdiscussed relationship between genetic variation and individual genetic fitness (Mitton 1997; Frankham et al. 2002).”
Realistic levels of inbreeding depression strongly affect extinction risk in wild populations (2006, background): “This does not apply in most wild populations (Frankham et al., 2002) leading to a smaller effective population size and potentially greater inbreeding.”
Why some species of birds do not avoid inbreeding: insights from New Zealand robins and saddlebacks (2009, neutral): “Most inbreeding in threatened wild populations is assumed to arise as an inevitable consequence of small population size (Frankham et al. 2002).”
Effects of intense versus diffuse population bottlenecks on microsatellite genetic diversity and evolutionary potential (2003, methodology): “Evolutionary potential is clearly related to population size (Frankham et al. 2002) and is reduced by population”
Methods for Assessing Fish Populations (2010, background): “A related concept is effective population size, which is the size of an idealized population that would show the same rate of loss of genetic variation as the population in question (Frankham et al. 2002).”
Population differences in juvenile survival under increasing drought are mediated by seed size in cork oak (Quercus suber L.). (2009, background): “In general, neutral markers are weakly correlated with selected genetic diversity (McKay et al., 2001; Reed and Frankham, 2001; Frankham et al., 2002).”
Salmonid inbreeding: a review (2002, neutral): “A real population commonly deviates from the ideal population through influences including unequal sex ratios, high variance in family sizes and fluctuating population sizes over generations (Frankham et al., 2002; Waples, 2002).”
Successful island reintroductions of New Zealand robins and saddlebacks with small numbers of founders (2005, background): “This suggests that surviving New Zealand bird populations on small islands are not exceptions to many unobserved or unrecorded extinct populations, as suggested by some authors ( Frankham, Ballou & Briscoe, 2002 ).”
Genetic variability and structure of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) populations throughout the distribution range inferred from allozyme, microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers (2003, background): “Small founder numbers, low effective population size and selection in domesticated and captive stocks may lead to loss of genetic diversity and result in inbreeding and reduced reproductive fitness (Frankham et al., 2002).”
Sex and sociality in a disconnected world: A review of the impacts of habitat fragmentation on animal social interactions (2007, background): “Although effective population size and the rate of genetic drift are influenced by mating systems (Frankham et al. 2002), an adaptive behavioural response to reduced genetic diversity may seem unlikely.”
Bryophytes in a changing landscape: The hierarchical effects of habitat fragmentation on ecological and evolutionary processes (2007, background): “tions by increasing the likelihood of breeding among related individuals (Frankham et al., 2002; Arnaud et al., 2003).”
The fourth paradigm pattern of post‐glacial range expansion of European terrestrial species: the phylogeography of the Marbled White butterfly (Satyrinae, Lepidoptera) (2005, background): “The importance of genetic diversity for the viability of populations is widely accepted (Frankham et al., 2002; Hansson & Westerberg, 2002; Reed & Frankham, 2003; Schmitt & Hewitt, 2004) and many single species examples have been proffered (e.”
