founder effect

Another cause of group differences is the so-called founder effect.

This high frequency is thought to be due to the founder effect.

They propose this to be the result of an isolated founder effect.

Therefore founder effects result in a loss of genetic diversity.

The founder effect is when a few individuals from a larger population settle a new isolated area.

This is likely due to a local founder effect.

This is consistent with the isolation by distance and serial founder effects.

In addition, the genetic issue of natural selection versus founder effects is far from settled.

The devils have a low genetic diversity which is consistent with a 'founder effect'.

Founder effects can also occur naturally as competing genetic lines die out.

Due to various migrations throughout human history, founder effects are somewhat common among humans in different times and places.

Together, this is described as the founder effect.

Benefits of plant diversity to ecosystems: immediate, filter and founder effects.

Because of the founder effect certain breeds are plagued with characteristic diseases.

The Jewish population of Yemen also reveals a founder effect.

Some mutations are simply easier to find in certain populations because of what geneticists call a founder effect.

It is related to the concept of a founder effect, since small populations often undergo bottlenecks.

Serial founder effects have occurred when populations migrate over long distances.

Genetic drift may be hampered by the founder effect.

Because one of the genetically isolated populations is so small, however, the founder effect can still play a role in speciation.

A founder effect amplifies any mutation present in a small population that later expands.

The Lithuanian Jewish population may exhibit a genetic founder effect.

In extreme cases, the founder effect is thought to lead to the speciation and subsequent evolution of new species.

A population bottleneck may also cause a founder effect even though it is not strictly a new population.

Founder effect occurs when a population is established by a small number of individuals who have departed from a much larger population.
