Genetic signatures of small effective population sizes and demographic declines in an endangered rattlesnake, Sistrurus catenatus
Endangered species that exist in small isolated populations are at elevated risk of losing
adaptive variation due to genetic drift. Analyses that estimate short‐term effective population …
