Summary
Diagram of the extinction vortex: outside threats and chance events lower a population's effective size, which leads to more inbreeding and genetic drift, reduced fitness and reduced adaptability, and so to a further fall in size and to extinction. Figure 8.10 of John W. Wilson and Richard B. Primack, Conservation Biology in Sub-Saharan Africa (Open Book Publishers, 2019), p. 284, released under CC BY 4.0.
Used in Minimum viable population.
