Talk:Founder effect

message: I suggest that both the founder and bottleneck effects be merged with genetic drift as subtitles.  As Jheald suggested, the article "founder population" should become a part of the description of the founder effect (perhaps as part of the effects of a single founder event).-E. D.

message: He used work by Sewall Wright and others that had been describing founder effect since the 30's atleast, he was the first to fully outline how speciation could occur via the founder effect though, in the paper i corrected to 1952. Heres the reference:

Templeton, A. R. The theory of speciation via the founder theory. Genetics. 94 (4) pp. 1011-38 (1979).
I don't know who invented the term, possibly Wright but thats just an educated guess
sorry i can't be more help and change the whole thing but am very busy at the moment, will be back in a few months when all is good if i remember and the same statements there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.219.202 (talk) 02:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Not all studies have been initiated after a volcanic eruption. Studies have been conducted when a species is reintroduced to an island where the initial population died off.
Few specific examples of studies are provided, especially in the way of animals and plants.
Whether the founder effect specifically refers to a change in the allele frequencies, or if it refers to a random generation of allele frequencies, which could be identical to the parent population, should be specified.

message: How did Filipinos become to be known as founders?  They are pretty diverse, as seen with the numerous haplogroups.  Compare them to Polynesians or more specifically eastern Polynesians of Hawaii and New Zealand and you will see a huge difference!  This is evident as even I am genetically connected, showing up as an autosomal match to someone from Norfolk island, a descendant of Fletcher Christian. Mamoahina (talk) 05:18, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

message: I know this is too short for an entry. That is why I am not creating it. If somebody could make it into a full article, this would be great: "Founder is the first member of a species to experience a specific mutation that is subsequently passed to its offspring through heredity." ---- Bernburgerin (talk) 07:45, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
