FIGURE 1.

The 23 Alpine ibex focal populations and a simplified representation of the reintroduction history in Switzerland equating to the effective bottleneck number each population experienced (top left panel). All Swiss populations descend from the Gran Paradiso national park in Northern Italy (open circle), which is included in the figure but was excluded from the selection detection analysis. Reintroductions in Switzerland often used founder individuals from previously established reintroduced populations. As a result, many populations have experienced several serial bottlenecks. Within this figure, each circle represents a Swiss Alpine ibex focal population and the circle's shading indicates the number of bottlenecks each population experienced. Marked by a cross are the weather stations used to estimate the local environment experienced by each population. Details about founder populations can be found in Biebach and Keller (2009)
