Abstract excerpt
Inbreeding depression is a central theme within genetics, and is of specific interest for researchers within evolutionary and conservation genetics and animal and plant breeding. Inbreeding effects are thought to be caused by the joint expression of conditional and unconditional deleterious alleles. Whenever the expression of deleterious alleles is conditional, this can result in extreme environmental sensitivity...
