Pedigree analysis and inbreeding effects over morphological traits in Campolina horse population
Animal, 2018 Genetic improvement, without control of inbreeding, can go to loss of genetic variability, reducing the potential for genetic gains in the domestic populations.

Heterozygosity-fitness correlations and inbreeding depression in two critically endangered mammals [PDF]
, 2013 The relation among inbreeding, heterozygosity, and fitness has been studied primarily among outbred populations, and little is known about these phenomena in endangered populations.

Genetic diversity and inbreeding in the Greek Skyros horse [PDF]
, 2008 Inbreeding and heterozygosity levels were calculated in a population of 77 horses of the endangered Skyros breed that had been raised since 1988 at an experimental farm. Twenty one horses were inbred with average inbreeding coefficient of 0.11 (+/-0.02).

Inbreeding in Holstein Friesian Cattle Population in Turkey
Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022 Inbreeding is generally associated with a reduction in production and profitability. Therefore, it is essential that it be monitored and kept under control.

Inbreeding depression for kit survival at birth in a rabbit population under long-term selection
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2020 Background Accumulation of detrimental mutations in small populations leads to inbreeding depression of fitness traits and a higher frequency of genetic defects, thus increasing risk of extinction.

Exploring the relationship between tychoparthenogenesis and inbreeding depression in the Desert Locust, Schistocerca gregaria [PDF]
, 2017 Tychoparthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction in which a small proportion of unfertilized eggs can hatch spontaneously, could be an intermediate evolutionary link in the transition from sexual to parthenogenetic reproduction.

EFFECT OF INBREEDING ON MORTALITY OF CAPTIVE TIGER [PDF]
Exploratory Animal and Medical Research, 2017 A study was carried out on the captive tigers of Nandankanan zoo, Odisha, India, to conclude any deleterious effect of inbreeding on mortality. A pedigree path analysis of 342 tigers was done to estimate the inbreeding coefficient of each tiger from ...

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,

On the expected relationship between inbreeding, fitness, and extinction
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2006 We assessed the expected relationship between the level and the cost of inbreeding, measured either in terms of fitness, inbreeding depression or probability of extinction. First, we show that the assumption of frequent, slightly deleterious mutations do
