Other birds may be more attracted to the colors of their own plumage as those could indicate a potential mate or another bird that is surviving well. 1  Most bright colors, however, can be used to attract birds, with certain bird species being more attracted to particular shades. 1  Red and Pink: Hummingbirds. 2  Orange: Orioles, hummingbirds. 3  Yellow: Goldfinches, warblers, hummingbirds.  Blue: Bluebirds, jays.
This phenomenon is called the founder effect. The founder effect is generically a loss of genetic diversity. But specifically, it refers to limited genetic diversity that occurs when a small group of individuals from a genetically diverse population of some species migrates away and forms a new colony.
The most common effects the genetic bottlenecks and founder effects are discussed in the article.... Genetic drift is the process of changes of allele frequencies over generations in a random fashion. Genetic bottlenecks and founder effects are the most common effects of genetic drift.The rate of loss of alleles in a genetic drift is Â½ N where N is the number of individuals in the initial population.he effect of genetic drift is inversely proportional to the size of the population. In small populations, most of the individuals tend to be homozygous for deleterious genes. The situation is similar to the effects of inbreeding.
