Bottleneck events are not always caused by the death of most of a species population. Bottleneck events can be caused by man hunting a species too much, habitat destruction, or an environmental disaster.

How have population changes affected some Northeast cities?
Population Declines Have Caused Lower Tax Revenues.
What observation caused Thomas Malthus to form his theory about population growth?
human birth rate
What is the pleistocene overkill theory?
The Pleistocene theory argues that hunter-gatherers caused the extinction of many species after the end of the last ice age.
Compare short and long history patterns with respect to population growth?
Short life-history organisms have a rapid population increase and decline caused by unpredictable enviroments. Long life-history organisms show slow population change within stable enviroments.
In the early 20th century the US population began moving to cities in greater numbers This movement was caused by industrialization which created?
a large number of jobs available in cities.
What is a restriction in genetic variability caused by a drastic reduction in population size?
population bottleneck
Bottleneck can be caused by?
genetic flow.
What is a reduction in population size caused by a natural disaster?
Bottleneck Effect. It's when part of a population leaves or dies, changing the gene pool for better or for worse.

Can result in less fertility caused by increased inbreeding?
bottleneck
Bottleneck can result in less fertility caused by increased?
Bottleneck can result in less fertility caused by increased inbreeding. Inbreeding can cause many birth defects since the gene pool is limited.
What trade wiped out entire elephant population?
Ivory trade caused the elephant population to plummet and in many areas it is still an endangered species.
Does genetic drift increase or decrease genetic variation in populations and why?
It is important to understand that each individual has different genes. Genes can be lost if an individual dies without reproducing. To answer your question: There are two type of effects caused by Genetic Drift. The founder effect happens when a few species inhabit a new territory. If only those species reproduce then there are less genes in the gene pool and that leads to less variation. This can happen if storms sweep birds to a previously uninhabited island. The other effect is the bottleneck effect. This happens if a disease or poaching drastically reduces the number of individuals in a population. Since there are less individuals who can reproduce there are not as many genes that can be passed down.
How does variation lead to evolition?
Variation is caused by new genetic mutations in a population which lead to different traits in a population. Evolution selets the most useful of these mutation, eventually leading to prominence of new traits within a species or population, or even new species.
Eradication of vaginal prolapse in buffalo population?
Is probably not very possible without eradicating the species. Such prolapses are usually caused by birthing calves, and stopping birth would stop the species.
How do you know a species is becoming extinct?
You know a species is becoming extinct when its population is decreasing rapidly. The decrease could be caused by human involvement, natural disasters, change of climate, hunting, etc., etc.
What most likely caused the rabbit population to decrease over the first time?
a link in the food chain is probable broken. ( a species became extinct)
