Summary
A diagram of the extinction vortex: habitat loss, overharvesting, invasive species, climate change, pollution, disease and environmental and demographic chance variation act on a small population, while lower effective population size, more inbreeding, more genetic drift, reduced fitness and reduced adaptability reinforce one another down to extinction.
