Decline in heterozygosity under full-sib and double first-cousin inbreeding in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1994

Rumball W, Franklin I R, Frankham R, Sheldon B L

Abstract excerpt

The effects of inbreeding on heterozygosities and reproductive fitness were determined by carrying out full-sib and double first-cousin inbreeding in Drosophila melanogaster populations for up to 18 generations. Parents were scored each generation for five or six polymorphic enzyme loci, and progeny numbers per pair were recorded. Inbreeding depression, in the form of significant reductions in progeny numbers and...
