Non-random mating for selection with restricted rates of inbreeding and overlapping generations [PDF]
, 2002 Minimum coancestry mating with a maximum of one offspring per mating pair (MC1) is compared with random mating schemes for populations with overlapping generations. Optimum contribution selection is used, whereby ΔF is restricted.

Predictive Model and Software for Inbreeding-Purging Analysis of Pedigreed Populations
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 The inbreeding depression of fitness traits can be a major threat to the survival of populations experiencing inbreeding. However, its accurate prediction requires taking into account the genetic purging induced by inbreeding, which can be achieved using

Inbreeding depression in red deer calves
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Understanding the fitness consequences of inbreeding is of major importance for evolutionary and conservation biology. However, there are few studies using pedigree-based estimates of inbreeding or investigating the influence of environment ...

Purging of inbreeding depression within the Irish Holstein-Friesian population
, 2009 peer-reviewedThe objective of this study was to investigate whether inbreeding depression in milk production or fertility performance has been partially purged due to selection within the Irish Holstein-Friesian population.

Evolutionary genetics and consequences of inbreeding in sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) [PDF]
, 2021 Inbreeding is a well-known phenomenon in evolutionary and conservation biology. In the 19th century, Charles Darwin demonstrated the detrimental effects of inbreeding in plants, followed by over a century of extensive research including various ...

The impact of self-incompatibility systems on the prevention of biparental inbreeding [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Inbreeding in hermaphroditic plants can occur through two different mechanisms: biparental inbreeding, when a plant mates with a related individual, or self-fertilization, when a plant mates with itself.

Genomic selection requires genomic control of inbreeding
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2012 Background In the past, pedigree relationships were used to control and monitor inbreeding because genomic relationships among selection candidates were not available until recently.
