Severe inbreeding depression in collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis).

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Aug 2002

Kruuk Loeske E B, Sheldon Ben C, Merilä Juha

Abstract excerpt

The causes and magnitude of inbreeding depression are of considerable importance for a wide range of issues in evolutionary and conservation biology, but we have only a limited understanding of inbreeding depression in natural populations. Here, we present a study of inbreeding in a large wild population of collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis). Inbreeding was rare, to the extent that we detected only 1.04%...
