Sex Ratio Bias and Extinction Risk in an Isolated Population of Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus)
Understanding the mechanisms underlying population declines is critical for preventing the extinction of endangered populations. Positive feedbacks can hasten the process of collapse and create an ‘extinction vortex,’ particularly in small, isolated populations. We provide a case study of a male-bia...
