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.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

A high quality pedigree and genetic markers both reveal inbreeding depression for quality but not survival in a cooperative mammal [PDF]

, 2018
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Wiley via the DOI in this recordInbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of offspring of closely related parents, is commonplace in both captive and wild populations and has ...

Captive Breeding of the Chinese Alligator Reduces Inbreeding but Increases Genetic Load

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Captive breeding of the Chinese alligator successfully reduced genomic inbreeding but increased the burden of deleterious mutations. Genomic analyses indicate that managing both genetic diversity and genetic load is essential for the long‐term conservation of this critically endangered species.

From Evolutionary Genomics to Conservation Action: Gibbon as a System for Integrative Primate Genomics

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes gibbon genomic research to propose a framework from evolutionary reconstruction and multidimensional vulnerability assessment to conservation intervention and long‐term dynamic monitoring. We clarify the supporting role of genomic evidence in conservation decision‐making and delineate a practicable pathway for integrating ...

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

Genotyping Contemporary Captive and Historical Wild Western Lowland Gorillas Indicates Captive Breeding Is Maintaining Genetic Diversity in a Critically Endangered Primate

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

Optimizing genetic diversity in Australian Holsteins and Jerseys: A comparative analysis of whole-genome and regional inbreeding depression effects

Journal of Dairy Science
: Homozygosity, which can arise from several genetic mechanisms including inbreeding, is frequently observed in the offspring of related parents. This inbreeding can lead to a reduced performance, owing to a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression ...
