    Answer is: inbreeding depression.

    Inbreeding depression is the reduced biological fitness in a given population (in this case frogs) as a result of inbreeding or breeding of related individuals. This is result of population bottleneck (tsunami).

    Population bottleneck is a sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events.
