A high-quality pedigree and genetic markers both reveal inbreeding depression for quality but not survival in a cooperative mammal.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2018

Wells David A, Cant Michael A, Nichols Hazel J, Hoffman Joseph I

Abstract excerpt

Inbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of offspring of closely related parents, is commonplace in both captive and wild populations and has important consequences for conservation and mating system evolution. However, because of the difficulty of collecting pedigree and life-history data from wild populations, relatively few studies have been able to compare inbreeding depression for traits at different...
