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 ...

Evidence of an Absence of Inbreeding Depression in a Wild Population of Weddell Seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 Inbreeding depression can reduce the viability of wild populations. Detecting inbreeding depression in the wild is difficult; developing accurate estimates of inbreeding can be time and labor intensive.

The evolutionary ecology of inbreeding depression in wild plant populations and its impact on plant mating systems [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceInbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of inbred relative to outbred individuals was described more than two centuries ago, long before the development of population genetics.

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed. [PDF]
J Anim Breed GenetABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with

Genome‐Wide Homozygosity Predicts Inbreeding Depression in the Hihi/Stitchbird (Notiomystis cincta) Better Than Realised Load [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsPopulation declines result in increasingly small populations, which often experience an increase in inbreeding. Inbreeding may be negatively associated with fitness traits like survival and reproduction, that is, inbreeding depression, and is therefore ...

An experimental field study of inbreeding depression in an outcrossing invasive plant [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceInbreeding depression is likely to play an important role during biological invasion. But relatively few studies have investigated the fitness of selfed and outcrossed offspring in self-incompatible invasive plants in natural environments in their ...
