Mechanisms: polyploidy (auto, hyla versicolor (4n, h chrysoscelis (2n, hybridization (allopolypoidy, especially in plants - why, they can self feritilize, they can reproduce vegetatively, resource partitioning. If the population is reduced drastically the allele frequencies may change - not as a result of selection: many species that have been reduced to small numbers ( and then recover) Start a new population with a small subset of the original population: common with zoo populations, achromatopsia complete colorblindness -oliver sacks, pingalap island with a large population that is filled with lots of achromatopsic individuals.
