We introduce efforts to develop a potentially thiamine deficiency complex (TDC) tolerant Atlantic salmon broodstock via selective breeding, as well as control broodstock with higher genetic diversity (and no selection). Additionally, we develop the genetic monitoring tools (novel genetic marker panel, parentage‐based tagging) to monitor the demographic

We investigated the genetic diversity and population structure of Seriola lalandi across the Pacific Ocean, including wild and captive‐reared individuals. Our results revealed pronounced hemispheric genetic differentiation and previously undetected substructure within the Temperate Northern Pacific, along with consistent differences between wild and ...

Inbreeding depression in crambe
Inbreeding depression in plants, caused by selfing or crossing among plants with a high degree of relatedness, is a genetic phenomenon that affects quantitative traits. This study aimed at verifying the occurrence of inbreeding depression in crambe progenies originated from selfing, in comparison with open pollination progenies.

INBREEDING DEPRESSION FOR YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS IN Fragaria × ananassa Duch.
In case of plants, inbreeding depression can be measured through comparison of the fitness of selfed individuals with outcrossed individuals. In this paper the effect of repeated inbreeding on fruit yield and yield component of strawberries (Fragaria ...

Using genome‐wide SNPs, we characterised population genomic patterns in southern greater gliders from continuous and isolated forests in New South Wales, Australia. Genomic diversity was significantly lower in the isolated population, which exhibited elevated relatedness and a low effective population size, while analyses of fine‐scale spatial genetic ...

We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Translocation effects on regional and local population viability and connectivity
Abstract Translocations and reintroductions aim to improve the viability of isolated populations and promote connectivity for large carnivores. However, there is no established framework for assessing their success. We used the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in western and central Europe to assess the impact of translocations on the viability of six ...

Intraspecific Hybridization Improves Performance of the Biological Control Agent Hypena opulenta
ABSTRACT Introduced species often undergo genetic drift and natural selection, which can reduce genetic diversity and drive differentiation among populations. Intraspecific hybridization, outcrossing among individuals from genetically distinct groups, may counteract these effects by increasing heterozygosity, potentially improving performance. However,

Inbreeding Depression and Heterosis
The assessments of heterosis and inbreeding depression together provide information about the gene action involved in the expression of different polygynous traits, hence for plant breeders. Knowledge of hybrid vigour and inbreeding decline is essential.

Interactions Between Inbreeding, Fitness and the Bacterial Microbiome in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes
ABSTRACT Laboratory and field populations of insects can experience a decline in fitness and loss of genetic diversity due to inbreeding depression and genetic drift, respectively. Matings among related individuals and small population size may also influence insect host microbiomes with consequences for fitness.
