Reduction of gene flow refers to the decreased exchange of genetic material between populations, often due to physical barriers, behavioral changes, or environmental factors. This can lead to increased genetic differentiation and potentially the formation of new species over time. Factors such as habitat fragmentation, geographical isolation, or selective pressures can contribute to this phenomenon, impacting biodiversity and evolutionary processes.
Gene flow
A sudden reduction in blood flow is called ischemia. This can lead to tissue damage or even cell death if blood flow is not restored promptly.

Migration and gene flow are related but distinct concepts. Migration refers to the movement of individuals from one population or area to another, often for reasons such as resource availability or breeding. Gene flow, on the other hand, is the transfer of genetic material between populations, which can occur as a result of migration when individuals interbreed and share their genes. Thus, while migration can facilitate gene flow, they are not synonymous.

geographic isolation and the reduction of gene flow
Gene flow that involves the movement of individuals from a high-variation population into a low-variation population can result in a reduction of genetic variation. This can happen if the incoming individuals do not introduce new alleles or if genetic drift and selection reduce the frequency of existing alleles.

There is no gene flow.
The movement of genes into and out of a gene pool is called gene flow. Gene flow occurs when individuals migrate between populations and introduce new genetic variation or when individuals leave a population, reducing the amount of genetic diversity.
founder effect, where a small population establishes a new gene pool due to a sharp reduction in numbers.
A sudden reduction in blood flow is called ischemia. This can lead to tissue damage or even cell death if blood flow is not restored promptly.
Gene flow tends to reduce diffences between populations.
