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 ...

Inbreeding depression of reproductive traits in Japanese Black cattle using genomic information [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective The objective of this study was to evaluate genomic inbreeding in Japanese Black cattle and its effects on reproductive traits. Methods The study analyzed reproductive records and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from Japanese Black ...

Intangible drivers of tolerance shape human–elephant coexistence in Southwest China
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Southwest China is home to a small but rapidly expanding population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), whose growth has intensified conflicts with people living in shared landscapes. These conflicts result in substantial economic losses and occasional human casualties. This coexistence paradox—where conservation success leads to significant

BMC Genomics, 2023 Background The reduction in phenotypic performance of a population due to mating between close relatives is called inbreeding depression. The genetic background of inbreeding depression for semen traits is poorly understood.

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 ...

Essay: On the close relationship between speciation, inbreeding and recessive mutations.
, 2010 Whilst the principle of adaptive evolution is unanimously recognised as being caused by the process of natural selection favouring the survival and/or reproduction of individuals having acquired new advantageous traits, a consensus has proven much harder

GENOMIC VARIABILITY AMONG CATTLE POPULATIONS BASED ON RUNS OF HOMOZYGOSITY [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2015 In this work, the distribution of different lengths ROH (runs of homozygosity) in six cattle breeds was described. A total of 122 animals from six cattle breeds (Holstein, Simmental, Austrian Pinzgau, Ayrshire, MRI-Meuse Rhine Issel and Slovak Pinzgau ...

Mutual mate choice : when it pays both sexes to avoid inbreeding
, 2008 Theoretical models of sexual selection predict that both males and females of many species should benefit by selecting their mating partners. However, empirical evidence testing and validating this prediction is scarce.

Management of Genetic Diversity in the Era of Genomics
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Management of genetic diversity aims to (i) maintain heterozygosity, which ameliorates inbreeding depression and loss of genetic variation at loci that may become of importance in the future; and (ii) avoid genetic drift, which prevents deleterious ...
