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 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 is high in a self-incompatible perennial herb population but absent in a self-compatible population showing mixed mating. [PDF]
, 2017 High inbreeding depression is thought to be one of the major factors preventing evolutionary transitions in hermaphroditic plants from self-incompatibility (SI) and outcrossing toward self-compatibility (SC) and selfing. However, when selfing does evolve,

Inbreeding, inbreeding depression, and infidelity in a cooperatively breeding bird. [PDF]
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2018 Inbreeding depression plays a major role in shaping mating systems: in particular, inbreeding avoidance is often proposed as a mechanism explaining extra-pair reproduction in socially monogamous species. This suggestion relies on assumptions that are rarely comprehensively tested: that inbreeding depression is present, that higher kinship between ...

VIRAL EPIZOOTIC REVEALS INBREEDING DEPRESSION IN A HABITUALLY INBREEDING MAMMAL [PDF]
Evolution, 2007 Inbreeding is typically detrimental to fitness. However, some animal populations are reported to inbreed without incurring inbreeding depression, ostensibly due to past "purging" of deleterious alleles. Challenging this is the position that purging can, at best, only adapt a population to a particular environment; novel selective regimes will always ...

Relationships between estimated autozygosity and complex traits in the UK Biobank [PDF]
, 2018 Inbreeding increases the risk of certain Mendelian disorders in humans but may also reduce fitness through its effects on complex traits and diseases. Such inbreeding depression is thought to occur due to increased homozygosity at causal variants that ...
