Testing the influence of family structure and outbreeding depression on heterozygosity-fitness correlations in small populations.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2012

Jourdan-Pineau Helene, Folly Joy, Crochet Pierre-Andre, David Patrice

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts that positive heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) arise as a consequence of inbreeding, which is often assumed to have a strong impact in small, fragmented populations. Yet according to empirical data, HFC in such populations seem highly variable and unpredictable. We here discuss two overlooked phenomena that may contribute to this variation. First, in a small population, each generation...
