A population bottleneck occurs when a population's size is suddenly reduced. Natural disasters, infectious diseases, and habitat destruction can all cause a large - scale reduction in population size. Colonization by a small number of individuals can also lead to a bottleneck as it starts with a limited gene pool. Reduction in migration doesn't directly cause a sudden reduction in population size like the others.
