Genomic signatures of inbreeding depression for a threatened Aotearoa New Zealand passerine
For small and isolated populations, the increased chance of mating between related
individuals can result in a substantial reduction in individual and population fitness. Despite …

Genomic analysis reveals depression due to both individual and maternal inbreeding in a free‐living mammal population
C Bérénos, PA Ellis, JG Pilkington… - Molecular …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
There is ample evidence for inbreeding depression manifested as a reduction in fitness or
fitness‐related traits in the focal individual. In many organisms, fitness is not only affected by …

Telomere length reveals cumulative individual and transgenerational inbreeding effects in a passerine bird
K Bebbington, LG Spurgin, EA Fairfield… - Molecular …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Inbreeding results in more homozygous offspring that should suffer reduced fitness, but it
can be difficult to quantify these costs for several reasons. First, inbreeding depression may …
