Abstract excerpt
Identifying close relatives in wild animal populations is fundamental across many research fields. Genetic estimates of relatedness have expanded rapidly in recent decades, drawing on a range of genetic data types. Here, we review their use and outline opportunities for future studies by combining two complementary approaches. First, we conducted a systematic literature review, assessing 2861 articles in depth to...
