Effective population size.
The effective population size of the koala population was significantly impacted by each of the disturbance processes (CI for each dataset did not overlap with each other). The population decrease caused by ‘natural’ mortality events resulted in a 30.98% decrease in Ne (Dataset 1 vs Dataset 2). The additional population decline caused by the linear transport infrastructure project by virtue of translocations and the subsequent creation of two smaller sub-populations resulted in a 26.16% decline in Ne for the population of koalas located below the linear transport infrastructure (Dataset 2 vs Dataset3above) and a 9.3% decline in Ne for the population of koalas located above (Dataset 2 vs Dataset3below) the linear transport infrastructure (see Table 1).
