Inbreeding Depression and Purging for Meat Performance Traits in German Sheep Breeds
Animals, 2023 This study provides estimates on genetic parameters, inbreeding depression and purging for meat performance measures from 25 German sheep breeds. All German meat, merino sheep breeds and breeds of other breeding directions with a sufficient number of ...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Prediction of genetic gain from quadratic optimisation with constrained rates of inbreeding [PDF]
, 2006 There are selection methods available that allow the optimisation of genetic contributions of selection candidates for maximising the rate of genetic gain while restricting the rate of inbreeding. These methods imply selection on quadratic indices as the

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.
