An investigation of inbreeding depression and purging in captive pedigreed populations [PDF]
Heredity, 2006 We use regression models to investigate the effects of inbreeding in 119 zoo populations, encompassing 88 species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Meta-analyses show that inbreeding depression for neonatal survival was significant across the 119 populations although the severity of inbreeding depression appears to vary among taxa.

Genome-wide estimates of coancestry, inbreeding and effective population size in the Spanish Holstein population. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Estimates of effective population size in the Holstein cattle breed have usually been low despite the large number of animals that constitute this breed.

Genomic selection requires genomic control of inbreeding
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2012 Background In the past, pedigree relationships were used to control and monitor inbreeding because genomic relationships among selection candidates were not available until recently.

Inbreeding in Japanese Quail Estimated by Pedigree and Microsatellite Analyses [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2007 Accurately estimating inbreeding is important because inbreeding reduces fitness and production traits in populations. We analyzed information from pedigrees and from microsatellite markers to estimate inbreeding in a line of Japanese quail derived from a randombred line (QO) and maintained for 17 generations by pedigreed matings of brothers to groups ...

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.

Effects of pedigree errors on the efficiency of conservation decisions [PDF]
, 2009 Conservation schemes often aim at increasing genetic diversity by minimizing kinship, and the best method to achieve this goal, when pedigree data is available, is to apply optimal contributions.
