An experimental field study of inbreeding depression in an outcrossing invasive plant [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceInbreeding 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 ...

Interactive effects of inbreeding and endocrine disruption on reproduction in a model laboratory fish [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2013 Inbreeding depression is expected to be more severe in stressful environments. However, the extent to which inbreeding affects the vulnerability of populations to environmental stressors, such as chemical exposure, remains unresolved.

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 EvolutionMaintenance 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 ...

The Genetic Interpretation of Inbreeding Depression and Outbreeding Depression [PDF]
Evolution, 1991 Inbreeding with close relatives and outbreeding with members of distant populations can both result in deleterious shifts in the means of fitness-related characters, most likely for very different reasons. Such processes often occur simultaneously and have important implications for the evolution of mating systems, dispersal strategies, and speciation.

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.

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 ...
