The Genetic Interpretation of Inbreeding Depression and Outbreeding Depression [PDF]

Evolution, 1991
Inbreeding with close relatives and outbreeding with members of distant populations can both result in deleterious shifts in the means of fitness-related characters, most likely for very different reasons. Such processes often occur simultaneously and have important implications for the evolution of mating systems, dispersal strategies, and speciation.

Evidence of Inbreeding Depression on Human Height

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Stature is a classical and highly heritable complex trait, with 80%-90% of variation explained by genetic factors. In recent years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified many common additive variants influencing human height; however, little attention has been given to the potential role of recessive genetic effects. Here,

Self‐compatibility in Solanum malmeanum (Solanaceae): Evolutionary and breeding impacts for a novel source of genetic variation in diploid potatoes

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Solanum malmeanum, a wild relative of the potato (S. tuberosum), is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. This wild potato species belongs to the tertiary gene pool (2x = 2n = 24, 1EBN – Endosperm Balance Number) and possesses valuable traits for potato breeding. Understanding its reproductive mechanisms is crucial for effectively

Inbreeding depression in crambe

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2016
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.

Silver fir seed viability varies with age, fir‐associated forest cover and abiotic conditions of seed harvest stands across Austria

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
As climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation intensify, seed‐sourcing strategies should explicitly incorporate ecological filters when selecting stands for seed harvest to safeguard seed viability and genetic diversity for nursery production. Seed stand management should be refocused on promoting structural conditions that enhance reproductive ...

Genetic improvement of the herbivorous blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) [PDF]

, 2003
Selection experiments with the herbivorous blunt snout bream or Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) were started in 1985. Mass selection for size and length/depth ratio resulted in a significant increase in growth and better shape, while inbreeding ...

Design and Application of a Genome‐Wide SNP Array to Improve Conservation Outcomes in the Critically Endangered Southern Corroboree Frog

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Species‐specific genomic information has the potential to transform modern conservation management strategies through improved genomic assessment and management outcomes. Gaining genomic insights into genetic diversity, adaptability and potential resilience against infectious diseases is essential to enhance conservation efforts for threatened

Nonequivalent lethal equivalents: Models and inbreeding metrics for unbiased estimation of inbreeding load

Evolutionary Applications, 2019
Inbreeding depression, the deterioration in mean trait value in progeny of related parents, is a fundamental quantity in genetics, evolutionary biology, animal and plant breeding, and conservation biology.
