1. Population Genetics: When Darwin Met Mendel - Crash Course Biology

   out of 5 stars 

   03 Oct 2015 | | Contributor(s):: CrashCourse

   This Youtube video talks about population genetics, which helps to explain the evolution of populations over time by combing the principles of Mendel and Darwin, and by means of the Hardy-Weinberg equation, all in an upbeat, modern and somewhat zany manner.

3. Founder Effects, Inbreeding, and Loss of Genetic Diversity in Four Avian Reintroduction Programs

   out of 5 stars 

   22 Mar 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Ian Jamieson

   The number of individuals translocated and released as part of a reintroduction is often small, as is the final established population, because the reintroduction site is typically small. Small founder and small resulting populations can result in population bottlenecks, which are associated with...
