本数据集围绕数量下降近七成的欧洲鸬鹚种群展开，通过对85只繁殖个体的7个微卫星位点基因分型、繁殖季巢址监测及七年重捕数据，分析杂合度对雌性繁殖成功率和个体存活率的影响，揭示遗传多样性降低对种群适合度的潜在影响，为濒危海鸟保护提供遗传层面依据。 论文“Heterozygosity-fitness correlations in a declining seabird population”
Rhinoceros auklet breeding colonies (populations) included in the genetics analyses, sample size (n), number of alleles (Na), expected heterozygosity (HE), observed heterozygosity (HO), private allele
Newly established populations are susceptible to founder events that reduce genetic variation. This may be counterbalanced by gene flow after populations become established or founders coming from gen
