The opposite is true - transportation has increased diversity. The American Indians suffered due to a lack of exposure to diseases (smallpox) common in Europe due to their relative isolation

Erm ... that's also a way to put it. Another way to put it, they would not have suffered if not for rapid transportation.

But genetic diversity did increased - through mating.
