The environmental dependence of inbreeding depression in a wild bird population.

PloS one - 10 Oct 2007

Szulkin Marta, Sheldon Ben C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inbreeding depression occurs when the offspring produced as a result of matings between relatives show reduced fitness, and is generally understood as a consequence of the elevated expression of deleterious recessive alleles. How inbreeding depression varies across environments is of importance for the evolution of inbreeding avoidance behaviour, and for understanding extinction risks in small...
