Abstract

Lynch & Lande's (1998) comments on our paper (Franklin & Frankham, 1998) misrepresent our purpose, deal largely with a different issue and do not refute our original criticism. Our paper is a commentary on Lande's (1995) suggestion that an effective size of 5000 is required to maintain evolutionary potential, not whether this size ‘is adequate for conservation purposes'.
