Small population size and extremely low levels of genetic diversity in island populations of the platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus

Genetic diversity generally underpins population resilience and persistence. Reductions in population size and absence of gene flow can lead to reductions in genetic diversity, reproductive fitness, and a limited ability to adapt to environmental change increasing the risk of extinction. Island popu...
