Similarly (156), the suggestion that effective population sizes below 50 lead to inbreeding depression and below 500 lead to dangerous loss of genetic variation was raised to the status of a ecosystems and regions (e.g. SIMBERLOFF a •• •• • •• •• • •• ••• Figure 1 superior to b •• c • • d • •• ••• e Proposed principles of refuge design.

The "50" part of the rule has appeared in newspapers (e. g . 2 10). Fifty and 500 are called the "magic numbers" (209), and they have already been applied in management plans (e.g . 60) . However, the rules of refuge design and 501500 rule have been questioned recently . Each (save the first rule of refuge design-all other things being equal , a large reserve is better than a small one) has been disputed on theoretical as well as empirical grounds. Further, they have often been uncritically applied and viewed as laws rather
