The impact of environmental changes on genetic diversity

Environmental changes exert profound impacts on genetic diversity. Types of environmental changes such as climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction can lead to alterations in gene frequencies, loss of alleles, and emergence of new alleles. These changes intensify natural selection, resulting in the retention of adaptive variations and elimination of unfavorable ones. In response to environmental changes, species may migrate to seek new habitats, accompanied by gene flow that contributes to increased genetic diversity. However, environmental changes can also lead to changes in population size and genetic bottlenecks, further affecting genetic diversity.
