Purging of inbreeding depression within the Irish Holstein-Friesian population [PDF]

, 2009
peer-reviewedThe objective of this study was to investigate whether inbreeding depression in milk production or fertility performance has been partially purged due to selection within the Irish Holstein-Friesian population.

Postcopulatory mechanisms of inbreeding avoidance in the island endemic hihi (Notiomystis cincta) [PDF]

, 2011
Avoiding genetic incompatibility resulting from inbreeding is thought to be one of the main drivers of mate choice, promiscuity, and sexual conflict. Inbreeding avoidance has been found across a wide range of taxa and is predicted to be adaptive when the

A comparison of inbreeding depression in tropical and widespread Drosophila species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The evolutionary history of widespread and specialized species is likely to cause a different genetic architecture of key ecological traits in the two species groups. This may affect how these two groups respond to inbreeding.

On the close relationship between speciation, inbreeding and recessive mutations. [PDF]

, 2010
Whilst the principle of adaptive evolution is unanimously recognised as being caused by the process of natural selection favouring the survival and/or reproduction of individuals having acquired new advantageous traits, a consensus has proven much harder

Inbreeding and selection on sex ratio in the bark beetle Xylosandrus germanus [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Local Mate Competition (LMC) theory predicts a female should produce a more female-biased sex ratio if her sons compete with each other for mates.

An effective rotational mating scheme for inbreeding reduction in captive populations illustrated by the rare sheep breed [PDF]

, 2008
Within breeds and other captive populations, the risk of high inbreeding rates and loss of diversity can be high within (small) herds or subpopulations.

Inbreeding depression in red deer calves

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 ...

The existence of species rests on a metastable equilibrium between inbreeding and outbreeding [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Speciation corresponds to the progressive establishment of reproductive barriers between groups of individuals derived from an ancestral stock.
