Inbreeding depression in Solanum carolinense (Solanaceae), a species with a plastic self-incompatibility response [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Solanum carolinense (horsenettle) is a highly successful weed with a gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) system. Previous studies reveal that the strength of SI in S. carolinense is a plastic trait, associated with particular S-alleles. The

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 ...

Genome-wide assessment and mapping of inbreeding depression identifies candidate genes associated with semen traits in Holstein bulls

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

Sensitive males: inbreeding depression in an endangered bird [PDF]

, 2010
Attempts to conserve threatened species by establishing new populations via reintroduction are controversial. Theory predicts that genetic bottlenecks result in increased mating between relatives and inbreeding depression.

Pedigree error due to extra-pair reproduction substantially biases estimates of inbreeding depression [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding the evolutionary dynamics of inbreeding and inbreeding depression requires unbiased estimation of inbreeding depression across diverse mating systems.

On the expected relationship between inbreeding, fitness, and extinction

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2006
We assessed the expected relationship between the level and the cost of inbreeding, measured either in terms of fitness, inbreeding depression or probability of extinction. First, we show that the assumption of frequent, slightly deleterious mutations do

The environmental dependence of inbreeding depression in a wild bird population. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Inbreeding depression occurs when the offspring produced as a result of matings between relatives show reduced fitness, and is generally understood as a consequence of the elevated expression of deleterious recessive alleles.
