Amphibian malformations and inbreeding.

Biology letters - 23 Oct 2008

Williams Rod N, Bos David H, Gopurenko David, Dewoody J Andrew

Abstract excerpt

Inbreeding may lead to morphological malformations in a wide variety of taxa. We used genetic markers to evaluate whether malformed urodeles were more inbred and/or had less genetic diversity than normal salamanders. We captured 687 adult and 1,259 larval tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum tigrinum), assessed each individual for gross malformations, and surveyed genetic variation among malformed and normal...
