Translated version

Bottleneck effect

A form of genetic drift in which the gene pool of surviving individuals no longer reflects the genetic diversity of the original population due to a sudden and drastic reduction in population size (e.g., due to a natural disaster).

Original version

Butelio kaklelio efektas

Genų dreifo forma, kai dėl staigaus ir drastiško populiacijos sumažėjimo (pvz., dėl gamtos katastrofos) išlikusių individų genų fondas nebeatspindi pradinės populiacijos genetinės įvairovės.
