Ancestral inbreeding reduces the magnitude of inbreeding depression in Drosophila melanogaster.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2006

Swindell William R, Bouzat Juan L

Abstract excerpt

The influence of natural selection on the magnitude of inbreeding depression is an important issue in conservation biology and the study of evolution. It is generally expected that the magnitude of inbreeding depression in small populations will depend upon the average homozygosity of individuals, as measured by the coefficient of inbreeding (F). However, if deleterious recessive alleles are selectively purged...
