67)A small population of wolves is geographically isolated from the next closest population which is more than 200 km away. A disease outbreak kills half of the population, and soon after, the wolf population is decreased by another 25% by trappers. The population is then protected but fails to recover and show high levels of pup mortality. What is this population likely experiencing? Disruptive selection   Maladaptive gene flow   Purifying selection   The founder effect   An extinction vortex
