Applying high - throughput sequencing technologies to obtain sequences from most of the
genome, we calculated that the passenger pigeon's
effective population
size throughout the last million years was persistently about 1/10, 000 of the 1800's estimated number of individuals, a ratio 1,000 - times lower than typically found.
Genetic studies using samples along the distribution range of both subspecies and based on a few dozen nuclear markers have revealed loci of relatively high divergence (0.3 — 1.2 %) between subspecies embedded in a
genome otherwise characterized by low levels of differentiation and high levels of bidirectional gene flow [21], [24]--[26], likely facilitated by high
effective population
sizes, high dispersal, and a relatively short generation time [21], [24]--[26].
