Experimental evolution of the genetic load and its implications for the genetic basis of inbreeding depression.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2008

Fox Charles W, Scheibly Kristy L, Reed David H

Abstract excerpt

The degree to which, and rapidity with which, inbreeding depression can be purged from a population has important implications for conservation biology, captive breeding practices, and invasive species biology. The degree and rate of purging also informs us regarding the genetic mechanisms underlying inbreeding depression. We examine the evolution of mean survival and inbreeding depression in survival following...
