Abstract: Genetic “bottlenecks†have long been understood to restrict the ability of a species to pass on its genetic traits to later generations. Such events occur when the numbers of one species are too small to pass on a full range of genes. Inevitably, an impoverished genome results, one that is prone to disease or to inbreeding. Now, however, a second effect of these bottlenecks is shown. Replication is the benthic standard for assessing genetic bottlenecks from wide stochastic studies. Unfortunately, this replication requirement may cause real genetic effects to be missed.
