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 ...

Variance component analysis of skin and weight data for sheep subjected to rapid inbreeding [PDF]
, 1999 A variance component analysis was carried out on data from a 20-year experiment in the rapid inbreeding of purebred and crossbred lines of three hill breeds of sheep.

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

Essay: On the close relationship between speciation, inbreeding and recessive mutations. [PDF]
, 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

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.

Inferences About Inbreeding Depression Based on Changes of the Inbreeding Coefficient [PDF]
Evolution, 1990 In a mixed-mating population, the fitness of selfed individuals, relative to outcrossed individuals, can be estimated from observed changes of the inbreeding coefficient F. In general, three measurements of F, or two measurements of F and one of the selfing rate, spanning two generations are needed.

EXACT INBREEDING COEFFICIENTS IN POPULATIONS WITH OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS [PDF]
Genetics, 1978 ABSTRACT A theory is given that allows inbreeding coefficients to be calculated exactly for populations with overlapping generations. Emphasis is placed on providing equations well suited for computer iteration. Both monoecious and dioecious populations are considered and family size is not restricted to being Poisson.

Estimation of inbreeding effect on conception in Czech Holstein
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2019 The influence of calculated inbreeding coefficients on the conception of heifers and cows was analysed by a two-trait binary model for conceived/not conceived after each insemination on 677 234 Czech Holstein cows and heifers with 3 248 299 insemination ...

Mutual mate choice : when it pays both sexes to avoid inbreeding [PDF]
, 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.
