Our new paper on long-term genetic threats to small populations finds that #MutationalMeltdown (bad mutations fixing) is less of a problem than "mutational drought" (too few good new mutations) @wmawass @uliseshmc @jdmatheson https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article/293/2072/20260600/481996/Extinction-vortices-are-driven-more-by-a-shortage #ConservationGenetics #EvolutionaryRescue #PopulationGenetics #EvolGenPaper 1/5

Our new #preprint changes the way we look at an “extinction vortex” in which a small population loses fitness, causing it to become even smaller https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.25.620329v1.
