INBREEDING AND INBREEDING DEPRESSION IN SLOVENIAN HOLSTEIN POPULATION [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2007 Analysis of inbreeding and inbreeding depression was done on the data of routine breeding value estimation for milk production data on Holstein population in Slovenia.

ON THE MEASUREMENT OF INBREEDING DEPRESSION [PDF]
Evolution, 1994 Theory has shown that the fitness consequences of inbreeding can play a major role in the evolution of sex and reproduction (Maynard Smith 1977; Lloyd 1979; Shields 1982; Kondrashov 1985; Lande and Schemske 1985; Holsinger 1988; Charlesworth et al. 1991; Uyenoyama and Waller 1991 a and references therein).

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

A comparison of marker-based estimators of inbreeding and inbreeding depression. [PDF]
Genet Sel Evol, 2022 AbstractBackgroundThe availability of genome-wide marker data allows estimation of inbreeding coefficients (F, the probability of identity-by-descent, IBD) and, in turn, estimation of the rate of inbreeding depression (ΔID). We investigated, by computer simulations, the accuracy of the most popular estimators of inbreeding based on molecular markers ...

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.

BMC Genomics, 2023 Background The reduction in phenotypic performance of a population due to mating between close relatives is called inbreeding depression. The genetic background of inbreeding depression for semen traits is poorly understood.

Genomic patterns of homozygosity and inbreeding depression in Murciano-Granadina goats
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022 Background Inbreeding depression can adversely affect traits related to fitness, reproduction and productive performance. Although current research suggests that inbreeding levels are generally low in most goat breeds, the impact of inbreeding depression
