The efficiency of close inbreeding to reduce genetic adaptation to captivity.

Heredity - 1 Jan 2015

Theodorou K, Couvet D

Abstract excerpt

Although ex situ conservation is indispensable for thousands of species, captive breeding is associated with negative genetic changes: loss of genetic variance and genetic adaptation to captivity that is deleterious in the wild. We used quantitative genetic individual-based simulations to model the effect of genetic management on the evolution of a quantitative trait and the associated fitness of wild-born...
