In Asia, human population growth and land development have fragmented forest habitats. Because of this fragmentation, tigers hav
e become geographically isolated in small populations, and the tigers repeatedly mate within the same small population of tigers. What is the most likely impact this isolation will have on tiger populations?
Isolation of the tigers´ populations will cause an increase in inbreeding events, meaning a significant reduction in genetic diversity in each population. The loss of genetic variability will cause a reduction in the fitness of individuals. The population's survival will be threatened, with high chances of getting extinct.
