Inbreeding depression in red deer calves [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Understanding the fitness consequences of inbreeding is of major importance for evolutionary and conservation biology. However, there are few studies using pedigree-based estimates of inbreeding or investigating the influence of environment ...

Contrasting Patterns of Inbreeding and Inbreeding Depression in Co‐Occurring Spotted Turtle and Eastern Box Turtle Populations [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Maintenance of genetic diversity is critical for preserving a population's ability to adapt to changing selection pressures. As populations become smaller and more isolated, they are more likely to become inbred, which can lead to inbreeding depression ...

What happens after inbreeding avoidance? Inbreeding by rejected relatives and the inclusive fitness benefit of inbreeding avoidance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Avoiding inbreeding, and therefore avoiding inbreeding depression in offspring fitness, is widely assumed to be adaptive in systems with biparental reproduction.

Genetic inbreeding depression load for morphological traits and defects in the Pura Raza Española horse

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,

Does haplodiploidy purge inbreeding depression in rotifer populations? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Inbreeding depression is an important evolutionary factor, particularly when new habitats are colonized by few individuals. Then, inbreeding depression by drift could favour the establishment of later immigrants because their hybrid offspring ...

SELECTION AND INBREEDING DEPRESSION: EFFECTS OF INBREEDING RATE AND INBREEDING ENVIRONMENT [PDF]

Evolution, 2006
The magnitude of inbreeding depression in small populations may depend on the effectiveness with which natural selection purges deleterious recessive alleles from populations during inbreeding. The effectiveness of this purging process, however, may be influenced by the rate of inbreeding and the environment in which inbreeding occurs.
