Relationship of genetic variation to population size in wildlife

R Frankham - Conservation biology, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
Genetic diversity is one of three levels of biological diversity requiring conservation. Genetic
theory predicts that levels of genetic variation should increase with effective population size …

When are peripheral populations valuable for conservation?

P Lesica, FW Allendorf - Conservation biology, 1995 - Wiley Online Library

A comparison of levels of genetic polymorphism and self-compatibility in geographically restricted and widespread plant congeners

JD Karron - Evolutionary Ecology, 1987 - Springer
