Phenotype matching and inbreeding avoidance in African elephants.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2007

Moore Jim

Abstract excerpt

Perhaps the most important 'decision' made by any animal (or plant) is whether to disperse--leave kith and kin, or remain with the familiar and related. The benefits of staying at home are obvious, so dispersal requires an explanation--and the most popular is that dispersal functions to avoid inbreeding depression. Strong support comes from the observation that dispersal is so often sex biased. Simply put, all...
