Conservation biology: genes are not enough
Abstract
A study of correlated genotypic and phenotypic changes over a 2400-year period in a cave population of pocket gophers bolsters the idea that small, isolated populations can not only persist in a fluctuating environment, but may be able to adapt without genetic input from elsewhere.
