The Dolphin Institute - Dolphin Research Summaries
The occurrence of wanderers provides a mechanism for increasing genetic variability in the breeding populations and also suggests a mechanism for noted song similarities across different North Pacific winter grounds. Salden, D.R., Herman, L.M., Yamaguchi, M., ...

Earlham -- Biological Diversity -- St. Croix Ground Lizard
A. polops particularly vulnerable to extinction as a result of genetic bottlenecking. If a natural disaster of considerable proportions were to occur then the entire species could be eliminated because there wouldn't be enough genetic variability within the population for natural selection to act on. Some steps have been taken to help ...

Introduction
Apart from selection and hybridization, new and innovative techniques such as genetic engineering that aid plant breeders have been developed in the recent past. One example of this ... culture, has thrown open the doors for expedited evolution both in terms of generation of genetic variability and multiplication of elite plant types. The knowledge of the wonder molecule DNA has ...
