Microsatellite measures of inbreeding: a meta-analysis.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 May 2003

Coltman D W, Slate J

Abstract excerpt

Meta-analyses of published and unpublished correlations between phenotypic variation and two measures of genetic variation at microsatellite loci, multilocus heterozygosity (MLH) and mean d2, revealed that the strength of these associations are generally weak (mean r < 0.10). Effects on life-history trait variation were significantly greater than zero for both measures over all reported effect sizes (r = 0.0856...
