S. S.; Brace, Selina; Chan, Yvonne L.; Wheat, Christopher W.; Skoglund, Pontus; Ryder, Oliver A.; Goossens, Benoit; Götherström, Anders; Dalén, Love (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Small populations are often exposed to high inbreeding and mutational load that can increase the risk of extinction. The Sumatran rhinoceros was widespread in Southeast Asia, but is now restricted to small and isolated ...

      The grey wolf (Canis lupus) was the first species to give rise to a domestic population, and they remained widespread throughout the last Ice Age when many other large mammal species went extinct. Little is known, however, ...
