Inbreeding depression due to recent and ancient inbreeding in Dutch Holstein–Friesian dairy cattle
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019 Background Inbreeding decreases animal performance (inbreeding depression), but not all inbreeding is expected to be equally harmful. Recent inbreeding is expected to be more harmful than ancient inbreeding, because selection decreases the frequency of ...

Effect of recent and ancient inbreeding on production and fertility traits in Canadian Holsteins
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 ...

The critically endangered vaquita is not doomed to extinction by inbreeding depression
Science, 2022 In cases of severe wildlife population decline, a key question is whether recovery efforts will be impeded by genetic factors, such as inbreeding depression. Decades of excess mortality from gillnet fishing have driven Mexico’s vaquita porpoise (Phocoena

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Habitat fragmentation is sequestering species into small and isolated populations, with high chances of extinction. Are small and isolated populations at risk for extinction from inbreeding depression?

Genes, 2021 Inbreeding depression has been widely documented for livestock and other animal and plant populations. Inbreeding is generally expected to have a stronger unfavorable effect on fitness traits than on other traits.

The value of genomic relationship matrices to estimate levels of inbreeding
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 Genomic relationship matrices are used to obtain genomic inbreeding coefficients. However, there are several methodologies to compute these matrices and there is still an unresolved debate on which one provides the best estimate of inbreeding.

The effect of inbreeding, body size and morphology on health in dog breeds
Canine Medicine and Genetics, 2021 Background Dog breeds are known for their distinctive body shape, size, coat color, head type and behaviors, features that are relatively similar across members of a breed.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2021 Genomic selection has been commonly used for selection for over a decade. In this time, the rate of genetic gain has more than doubled in some countries, while inbreeding per year has also increased.

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020 Background Inbreeding is caused by mating between related individuals and is associated with reduced fitness and performance (inbreeding depression). Several studies have detected heterogeneity in inbreeding depression among founder individuals. Recently,
