Not necessarily. For example, species of amphibians, fish, and insects would not necessarily have genetic evidence of a bottleneck in them because they wouldn't have all died during the Flood of Noah. It is significant to note that the animals that would have gone on the ark--mammals, reptiles, and bird--have a lower averge heterozygosity than the animals that wouldn't have needed to go on the ark.
Chimps have a greater heterozygosity than humans, which were "obviously" on the ark. Would that mean chimps can survive a flood without taken aboard the ark?
