Bottleneck effect is when there's something that either kills the majority of the population or just prevents it from reproducing. This creates genetic drift because the likelihood of gene prominence changing is much higher in a small population.
The Founder Effect is a type of Bottleneck effect. It is when a small amount of individuals starts a population usually due to migration.
