This type of natural disaster slaughters for the most part of a population almost thirty percent of the population and permits only a small number of people to survive.

An epidemic that simply kills individuals missing a specific gene would be an illustration of natural choice, not a bottleneck effect, since it exterminates those with a precise genetic composition, instead of hitting them at random. Bottleneck effects significantly decrease genetic diversity since largely of the inhabitants expires and the genes transported by unlike individuals die with them. The North American Buffalos for example, were hunted almost to extinction in the late 18th century. Fewer than 500 buffalos remained worldwide. Their population recovered to over 12,000 the next
