Genome‐Wide Homozygosity Predicts Inbreeding Depression in the Hihi/Stitchbird (Notiomystis cincta) Better Than Realised Load [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsPopulation declines result in increasingly small populations, which often experience an increase in inbreeding. Inbreeding may be negatively associated with fitness traits like survival and reproduction, that is, inbreeding depression, and is therefore ...

Sensors, 2007 The design of fractional order-holds (FROH) of correcting gains β ∈ [ − 1 , 1 ](potentially and possibly including zero-order-holds, ZOH with β=0, and first-order-holds,FROH with β=1) is discussed related to achieving output deviations

No Pedigree, No Problem: Genomic Inbreeding Tracks Genetic Rescue With High Resolution [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsWith increasing habitat fragmentation and population isolation, inbreeding becomes a pressing concern for the persistence of wildlife populations. Detailed inbreeding monitoring is crucial for assessing extinction risk and evaluating the effectiveness of

Associations of autozygosity with a broad range of human phenotypes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Inbreeding depression has been observed in many different species, but in humans a systematic analysis has been difficult so far. Here, analysing more than 1.3 million individuals, the authors show that a genomic inbreeding coefficient (FROH) is ...

Genomic Variation and Population Structure of Portuguese Native Dog Breeds. [PDF]
Anim GenetABSTRACT The presence of dogs in Portugal is confirmed by zooarchaeological evidence dating to at least 7600 years ago. The 11 native dog breeds that exist in this territory are therefore the end‐product of a complex evolutionary process. This study characterises the genomic diversity and population structure of 10 native breeds based on whole‐genome ...

Revisiting Genetic Relationships of the Endangered Austrian Turopolje With Balkan and Commercial Pig Breeds Using Genome-Wide SNP Data. [PDF]
Anim GenetABSTRACT The endangered Austrian Turopolje (AT) pig population, which originated from six Croatian Turopolje founders imported during the early 1990s, is nowadays preserved through a national conservation project. This study aims to identify genetic relations, genetic distances and migration events between the AT population, four Austrian commercial ...

Reduced Genetic Load and Inbreeding in Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Reflect the Benefits of Admixture. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Conservation translocations have become important assets in saving African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) from local extinction, which have declined drastically due to anthropogenic pressures. In South Africa, wild dogs were eradicated except for a small, isolated population remaining in Kruger National Park.

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed. [PDF]
J Anim Breed GenetABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with

Assessing the Genetic Health and Conservation Value of an Introduced Urban Population of a Critically Endangered Parrot. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Non‐native species can be introduced to novel environments such as cities via wildlife trade. These populations may have conservation value—particularly if they are of a species threatened in its native range. Genetic tools can help assess the fitness of introduced populations by indicating if they are (1) suffering the consequences typically ...

Correlation of Genomic and Pedigree Inbreeding Coefficients in Small Cattle Populations
Animals, 2021 This study aimed to identify inbreeding coefficient (F) estimators useful for improvement programs in a small Holstein population through the evaluation of different methodologies in the Mexican Holstein population.
