The 40 pages that link to Founder effect, each with the reason it gives.

• BiogeographyRelated: Colonizers of islands carry only a sample of mainland variation, driving rapid divergence.

• Genetic driftBroader topic: The founders’ chance allele sample can differ sharply from the source population.

• Genetic diversityBroader topic: A small founding group carries only a sample of its source population’s variation.

• Inbreeding depressionRelated: It can accompany population isolation and raise relatedness, but describes genetic sampling rather than fitness decline.

• Allele frequencyRelated: Founding individuals can make some alleles unusually frequent in descendants.

• Ex situ conservationRelated: Captive colonies may inherit only a narrow sample of the wild population's variation.

• Linkage disequilibriumRelated: Founder events can create distinctive allele combinations that persist as disequilibrium.

• ConsanguinityRelated: Founder populations may combine shared ancestry with elevated frequencies of particular variants.

• Effective population sizeRelated: A small founding group creates a brief, often severe reduction in effective size.

• ReintroductionRelated: A small founding group can carry only a limited sample of source diversity.

• InbreedingRelated: Founder populations can have elevated relatedness and unusually frequent inherited disorders.

• Population bottleneckCompared with: It is the closest demographic counterpart, caused by founding rather than a population crash.

• Assisted migrationRelated: Small transported groups can carry only a fraction of the source population’s genetic diversity.

• Darwin's finchesRelated: Small founding populations helped create genetic differences among island finch populations.

• Genetic variationBroader topic: A small founding group can carry an unrepresentative sample of the source population’s variation.

• Endemic speciesRelated: Small founding populations can establish isolated lineages that later become regionally restricted.

• EndogamyRelated: Long-term endogamy in small communities can preserve distinctive genetic patterns.

• Human genetic variationBroader topic: Small founding groups can carry an unrepresentative sample of ancestral variation.

• HaplotypeBroader topic: Founder events can make a few ancestral haplotypes unusually common in a population.

• Island ecologyRelated: Small colonizing groups can give island populations distinctive genetic compositions.

• IslandRelated: Small founding populations can give island species unusual genetic profiles.

• Island gigantismRelated: Small founding populations can shape the variation on which island size evolution acts.

• Dog breedRelated: A breed founded by few dogs can inherit unusually common variants from its founders.

• Genetic ancestryRelated: Founder events can leave strong ancestry signals that differ from a population's origins.

• Cattle breedBroader topic: A breed founded by few animals may inherit an unusually narrow genetic starting point.

• Przewalski's horseRelated: A small captive founding population shaped the genetic diversity of reintroduced herds.

• Punctuated equilibriumRelated: Small founding populations can diverge quickly, a proposed contributor to change during speciation.

• Reintroduction biologyRelated: Small founding groups can lose genetic variation during population establishment.

• Clonal evolutionRelated: A small number of cells can found a lineage with an unrepresentative set of variants.

• BRCA1Related: Founder variants can make particular BRCA1 changes more common in some populations.

• Wildlife translocationRelated: A small translocation group may carry only a fraction of its source population’s diversity.

• Blue eyesRelated: Founder effects can make eye-color variants more common in some populations than others.

• Oceanic dispersalRelated: A few successful ocean-crossers can carry only part of their source population’s genetic variation.

• Out of Africa migrationRelated: Serial founding during expansion helps explain reduced genetic diversity farther from Africa.

• CystinosisRelated: Founder variants help explain unusually frequent cystinosis-causing CTNS variants in some populations.

• Bloom syndromeRelated: A recurrent BLM variant is comparatively common among people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.

• Canavan diseaseRelated: A founder variant contributes to the elevated frequency of Canavan disease in Ashkenazi Jewish populations.

• HomozygousRelated: Small founding populations can make particular alleles, and homozygous genotypes, more common.

• MicroevolutionBroader topic: It shows how founding samples can shift allele frequencies by chance.

• Recessive traitRelated: Founder events can make particular recessive alleles more common in a population.
