How do the founder effect and bottlenecking differ? Bottlenecks and founder effects. Genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations. Population bottlenecks occur when a population’s size is reduced for at least one generation. A founder effect occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original […]
