No evidence of inbreeding depression in a Tasmanian devil insurance population despite significant variation in inbreeding.

Scientific reports - 12 May 2017

Gooley Rebecca, Hogg Carolyn J, Belov Katherine, Grueber Catherine E

Abstract excerpt

Inbreeding depression occurs when inbred individuals experience reduced fitness as a result of reduced genome-wide heterozygosity. The Tasmanian devil faces extinction due to a contagious cancer, devil facial tumour disease (DFTD). An insurance metapopulation was established in 2006 to ensure the survival of the species and to be used as a source population for re-wilding and genetic rescue. The emergence of DFTD...
