|
| A portion of all genetic variation is functionally neutral, producing no phenotypic effect or significant difference in fitness. |
|
| Neutral events can radically reduce genetic variation through population bottlenecks. |
|
| When genetic variation does not result in differences in fitness, selection cannot directly affect the frequency of such variation. |
|
| As a result, the genetic variation at those sites is higher than at sites where variation does influence fitness. |

| A genetic species as defined by Robert Baker and Robert Bradley is a set of genetically isolated interbreeding populations. |
|
| This is similar to Mayr's Biological Species Concept, but stresses genetic rather than reproductive isolation. |
|
| Recent genetic evidence suggests the harbour porpoise population structure may be more complex, and they should be reclassified. |
|
| His proposal is not widely accepted and no genetic evidence for their existence is available. |
|
| Thus the Azorean population received a significant contribution from people with genetic backgrounds other than Portuguese. |
|
| Thus, to mitigate future losses, management and conservation of Baltic Sea biodiversity should include also the genetic level. |
|
| Loss of this type is likely to lead to loss of genetic variation including local adaptation. |
|
| The genetic variation within this clade shows only a limited regional variation, with the notable exception of Przewalski's horse. |
|
| The period since the emergence of humans has displayed an ongoing biodiversity reduction and an accompanying loss of genetic diversity. |
|
| Formerly huge gene pools of various wild and indigenous breeds have collapsed causing widespread genetic erosion and genetic pollution. |
|
| Genetically modified organisms contain genetic material that is altered through genetic engineering. |
|
| Genetic erosion and genetic pollution have the potential to destroy unique genotypes, threatening future access to food security. |
