    Genetic isolation, in combination with diminishing habitat quality and a limited population density, is likely to result in a population's collapse and ultimate extinction. [8] Random mutation rate, drift, high rates of inbreeding, restricted gene flow, and regional extinction have all been shown to increase with isolation.

  7. Isolation by distance - Wikipedia

    Over time, the isolation by distance model reveals a decline in local isolation and a rise in short and long range migration and the Sandy population experienced an isolate breakdown over time. Distance plays a role in determining kinship, but becomes less significant over time as the measures of the fit of the model decline.
