Inbreeding and relatedness in Scandinavian grey wolves Canis lupus.

Hereditas - 1 Jan 1999

Ellegren H

Abstract excerpt

Management of small and threatened populations may require detailed knowledge about the genetic status of individuals and the genetic relatedness between individuals. I show here that individual heterozygosity at a set of 29 microsatellite loci correlates closely to the degree of inbreeding in a captive grey wolf population. Microsatellite allele sharing similarly correlates closely to known relatedness between...
