1. Genetic Drift

   Linked via "phenotypic clusters"

   Founder Effects
   The founder effect is a specific type of bottleneck where a new population is established by a small number of individuals separating from a larger source population. The genetic makeup of the new colony is determined entirely by the genes carried by the founders, which may not be representative of the source population's allelic frequencies. This often results in a skewed allele distribution, sometimes leading to unusual phenotypic clusters in the resulting isolated population [3].
