Inbreeding depression in the wild [PDF]
Heredity, 1999 Despite its practical application in conservation biology and evolutionary theory, the cost of inbreeding in natural populations of plants and animals remains to a large degree unknown. In this review we have gathered estimates of inbreeding depression (delta) from the literature for wild species monitored in the field. We have also corrected estimates

THE GENETIC INTERPRETATION OF INBREEDING DEPRESSION AND OUTBREEDING DEPRESSION [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic 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.

The genetics of inbreeding depression
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2009Inbreeding depression - the reduced survival and fertility of offspring of related individuals - occurs in wild animal and plant populations as well as in humans, indicating that genetic variation in fitness traits exists in natural populations. Inbreeding depression is important in the evolution of outcrossing mating systems and, because intercrossing

Inbreeding, inbreeding depression and extinction
Conservation Genetics, 2007Inbreeding is unavoidable in small, isolated populations and can cause substantial fitness reductions compared to outbred populations. This loss of fitness has been predicted to elevate extinction risk giving it substantial conservation significance.

AbstractPopulations may respond to environmental changes through phenotypic plasticity, adaptation, migration, or suffer demographic declines if they are unable to respond. Climate change is already causing shifts in species ranges, changes in phenotypes, and altered life history traits and interspecific interactions.

Inbreeding is the mating of related individuals. It leads to a reduced number of heterozygotes and ultimately to complete homozygosity. Inbreeding depression is often observed with inbreeding and can be defined as the decrease in mean value of a trait due to inbreeding.
