- Title
Wild populations are smaller than we think: a commentary on ?Effective population size/adult population size ratios in wildlife: a review? by Richard Frankham.
- Authors
MACKAY, TRUDY F. C.
- Abstract
The author comments on the report "Effective population size/adult population size ratios in wildlife: A review," by Richard Frankham. She describes the population genetics theory which predicts a finite population's heterozygosity. She cites cases in the report that show analytical expressions linking the population's census size and to the effective size. The author notes the variability used by Frankham to perform regression analysis to determine the major factors that affect the equation.
