Microsatellite support for active inbreeding in a cichlid fish.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

In wild animal populations, the degree of inbreeding differs between species and within species between populations. Because mating with kin often results in inbreeding depression, observed inbreeding is usually regarded to be caused by limited outbreeding opportunities due to demographic factors like small population size or population substructuring. However, theory predicts inclusive benefits from mating with...
