Abstract excerpt

Despite its detrimental effects, inbreeding depression in wild populations is relatively under-explored. Here, we use whole-genome sequence data from more than 2700 wild barn owls (Tyto alba) to investigate the presence, severity and genetic architecture of inbreeding depression in three morphological traits. Using linear models (accounting for age) and nonlinear models (measuring growth effects) we show evidence...
