Reductions in the effective number of breeding adults in small populations may lead to inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity.
Further reductions occur when sex ratios are skewed.
This project tests the null hypothesis that genetic diversity and the proportion of effective breeders of an intertidal snail does not change as a result of exposure to tri-butyl tin.
