- Title
Relation of Minimum Viable Population Size to Biology, Time Frame, and Objective.
- Authors
REED, J. MICHAEL; MCCOY, EARL D.
- Abstract
The authors comment on an article on reexamining the minimum viable population size (MVPS) of the bog turtle in three orders of magnitude below population sizes typically considered as minimally viable. They claim that the authors of the article underestimated the MVPS of the bog turtle based on their definition of the term viability. They also discuss several methods of estimating MVPS.
