Genomic analysis of the inbreeding load for body weight, carcass and reproductive traits in the Rubia Gallega beef cattle population [PDF]
Genetics Selection EvolutionBackground Inbreeding, resulting from mating between relatives, leads to inbreeding depression, which can be traced back to hidden ancestral inbreeding loads.

Inbreeding, inbreeding depression, and infidelity in a cooperatively breeding bird. [PDF]
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2018 Inbreeding depression plays a major role in shaping mating systems: in particular, inbreeding avoidance is often proposed as a mechanism explaining extra-pair reproduction in socially monogamous species. This suggestion relies on assumptions that are rarely comprehensively tested: that inbreeding depression is present, that higher kinship between ...

Effect of recent and ancient inbreeding on production and fertility traits in Canadian Holsteins [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Phenotypic performances of livestock animals decline with increasing levels of inbreeding, however, the noticeable decline known as inbreeding depression, may not be due only to the total level of inbreeding, but rather could be distinctly ...

Inbreeding and inbreeding avoidance in wild giant pandas
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractInbreeding can have negative consequences on population and individual fitness, which could be counteracted by inbreeding avoidance mechanisms. However, the inbreeding risk and inbreeding avoidance mechanisms in endangered species are less studied.

Inbreeding affected differently on observations distribution of a growth trait in Iranian Baluchi sheep [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2021 Objective Initial consequence of inbreeding is inbreeding depression which impairs the performance of growth, production, health, fertility and survival traits in different animal breeds and populations. The effect of inbreeding on economically important

What happens after inbreeding avoidance? Inbreeding by rejected relatives and the inclusive fitness benefit of inbreeding avoidance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Avoiding inbreeding, and therefore avoiding inbreeding depression in offspring fitness, is widely assumed to be adaptive in systems with biparental reproduction.

SELECTION AND INBREEDING DEPRESSION: EFFECTS OF INBREEDING RATE AND INBREEDING ENVIRONMENT [PDF]
Evolution, 2006 The magnitude of inbreeding depression in small populations may depend on the effectiveness with which natural selection purges deleterious recessive alleles from populations during inbreeding. The effectiveness of this purging process, however, may be influenced by the rate of inbreeding and the environment in which inbreeding occurs.

Aquaculture Reports, 2021 The occurrence of inbreeding over generations cannot be avoided in breeding practice because of limited effective population sizes, and inbreeding is expected to decrease the heritability within populations.

Estimate of inbreeding depression on growth and reproductive traits in a Large White pig population
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 With the broad application of genomic information, SNP-based measures of estimating inbreeding have been widely used in animal breeding, especially based on runs of homozygosity.
