Extreme in Every Way: Exceedingly Low Genetic Diversity in Snow Leopards Due to Persistently Small Population Size

Katherine A. Solari, Simon Morgan, Andrey D. Poyarkov…·Dmitri A. Petrov

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of 41 snow leopards to show they have the lowest genetic diversity of any big cat species due to long-term small population size, not recent inbreeding.
