摘要
Genetic variation in European starlings in North America was examined using enzyme electrophoresis and compared to that in their home range. The effect of the founding bottleneck matched theoretical predictions. Heterozygosity was unaffected, whereas allelic diversity may have decreased. Results from this study and others suggest that theoretical predictions of bottlenecks are robust for allozyme data, and applicable under a wide variety of conditions.
