Supporting data for "Evolutionary potential of small population isolates" Xi Wang (12989618) Genomics Population ecology Evolutionary ecology Freshwater ecology Mutation load De novo mutations (DNMs) Genome assembly Population genetics <p dir="ltr">By leveraging a high number of replicate populations, this thesis demonstrates how long-term isolation drives genetic decay and phenotypic degradation in wild populations. Linking genomic erosion directly to physical asymmetry, these novel insights bridge the gap between theoretical population genetics and observable phenotypic fitness proxies. Ultimately, this work provides critical evolutionary parameters, methodological benchmarks, and framework solutions essential for the long-term conservation management and risk assessment of wild isolated species facing habitat fragmentation. The dataset included the final filtered data used in all analyses conducted in this thesis.</p><p><br></p> 2026-09-22T09:09:03Z Dataset Dataset 10.25442/hku.33338644.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Supporting_data_for_Evolutionary_potential_of_small_population_isolates_/33338644 CC BY-NC 4.0 Open Access after 2027-08-26
