Social effects of inbreeding associated with parental care [PDF]

, 2014
Inbreeding is associated with reduced fitness, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. I investigated direct and indirect effects of inbreeding on social traits associated with parental care in the burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides.

Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

Genetic inbreeding load and its individual prediction for milk yield in French dairy sheep

Genetics Selection Evolution
Background The magnitude of inbreeding depression depends on the recessive burden of the individual, which can be traced back to the hidden (recessive) inbreeding load among ancestors.

Evaluation of Optimum Genetic Contribution Theory to Control Inbreeding While Maximizing Genetic Response [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2012
Inbreeding is the mating of relatives that produce progeny having more homozygous alleles than non-inbred animals. Inbreeding increases numbers of recessive alleles, which is often associated with decreased performance known as inbreeding depression. The

A comparison of marker-based estimators of inbreeding and inbreeding depression

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022
AbstractBackgroundThe availability of genome-wide marker data allows estimation of inbreeding coefficients (F, the probability of identity-by-descent, IBD) and, in turn, estimation of the rate of inbreeding depression (ΔID). We investigated, by computer simulations, the accuracy of the most popular estimators of inbreeding based on molecular markers ...

Data from: Inbreeding, inbreeding depression and infidelity in a cooperatively-breeding bird [PDF]

, 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.

The Swedish Arctic Fox Project: 40 years of research in ecology and conservation

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The 4 central research themes in The Swedish Arctic Fox Project and key deliverables for practical conservation achieved over 4 decades. Abstract The scientific community widely recognizes the value of long‐term studies, especially those with individual‐level resolution; however, maintaining a consecutive data series is associated with multiple ...

How relatedness between mates influences reproductive success: An experimental analysis of self‐fertilization and biparental inbreeding in a marine bryozoan

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Kin associations increase the potential for inbreeding. The potential for inbreeding does not, however, make inbreeding inevitable. Numerous factors influence whether inbreeding preference, avoidance, or tolerance evolves, and, in hermaphrodites where ...

SLC7A6OS Founder Mutation: A Rare Cause of Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Dated to 1100 Years Ago

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background SLC7A6OS c.191A>G is a rare, autosomal recessive cause of progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). The c.191A>G variant, first discovered in two families from Türkiye and Portugal, was recently identified in three additional probands from the USA, all of Puerto Rican ancestry.
