Inbreeding avoidance, tolerance, or preference in animals?
M Szulkin, KV Stopher, JM Pemberton… - Trends in ecology & …, 2013 - cell.com
Animal ecologists commonly assume that the reduced fitness that often afflicts inbred
offspring will inevitably cause selection for inbreeding avoidance. Although early empirical …

The genomic mosaicism of hybrid speciation
Hybridization is widespread in nature and, in some instances, can result in the formation of a
new hybrid species. We investigate the genetic foundation of this poorly understood process …

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 …
