Sex-specific inbreeding depression: A meta-analysis. [PDF]

Ecol Lett, 2022
Abstract Inbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of the offspring of related individuals, can affect males and females differently. Although a comprehensive theoretical framework describing the causes of sex‐specific inbreeding depression is lacking, empirical evidence suggests that often one sex tends to be more vulnerable than ...

An experimental field study of inbreeding depression in an outcrossing invasive plant [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Inbreeding 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 ...

Inbreeding evaluation using microsatellite confirmed inbreeding depression in growth in the Fenneropenaeus chinensis natural population [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Understanding inbreeding depressions (IBDs), the effect on the phenotypic performance of inbreeding, is of major importance for evolution and conservation genetics.

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 ...

Estimate of inbreeding depression on growth and reproductive traits in a Large White pig population

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
With the broad application of genomic information, SNP-based measures of estimating inbreeding have been widely used in animal breeding, especially based on runs of homozygosity.

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,
